Plain-English Summary
Section 25-12,119 supplies the short title for the composite-report statute. Sections 25-12,115 through 25-12,119 may be cited as the Uniform Composite Reports as Evidence Act. That name covers the full set of rules: when a composite expert report can be admitted without calling every contributor, the adverse party’s right to cross-examine available contributors, the notice and inspection steps that must precede trial use of the report, and the instruction to interpret the group consistently with sister states.
Because it is based on a model uniform act, the Act’s name is a useful research anchor for comparing how other states handle the same kind of multi-source expert report.
