COMMENT The timetable for the fast track is given in the directions for the case. A typical timetable starts from the date of the notice of allocation, and gives four weeks to disclosure, 10 weeks for the exchange of experts’ reports, 20 weeks for the court to send out listing questionnaires and 30 weeks to the hearing; the trial must not last more than one day, and such issues as liability and quantum may be decided separately.
