Frequently Asked Questions
Can the deadline to object to a report be extended?
Yes. Any judge of the court in which the report is filed may allow an extension of time for good cause shown, which can include the objection deadline in Section 19-15.
What counts as good cause for an extension?
Section 19-18 does not define good cause; it leaves that determination to the judge deciding the request.
Which judge decides an extension request?
Any judge of the court in which the report is filed may grant an extension — it need not be the same judge handling the underlying reference.
