Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

The lower court erred in allowing testimony from a witness whose identity was disclosed shortly before trial, as this prejudiced the opposing party who was denied adequate time for preparation and investigation; while the rules allow for some flexibility in discovery deadlines, the substantial surprise caused by the late disclosure of a key witness, coupled with the trial court's failure to impose remedial measures like granting a continuance, constituted an abuse of discretion that likely affected the outcome of the trial.
