Plain-English Summary
Parties shouldn't learn about a referee's report after the fact. Section 621 requires the referee to give each attorney of record written notice, at least four days ahead, naming the day certain the report will be filed with the clerk.
That advance notice gives the parties a chance to prepare objections before the report becomes final, which matters because Section 622 gives them only ten days after filing to object.
