Notice of unlisted exhibit

If unforeseen circumstances during trial lead a party to offer an unlisted exhibit, the party should notify the opposing side and the Court as soon as possible; omission alone will not make the exhibit inadmissible absent abuse if it was previously produced in discovery.

If, due to unforeseen circumstances during trial, a party wishes to introduce an exhibit not previously listed, notice should be given as soon as possible to the opposing side and to the Court so that any objections can be discussed. Absent abuse of this process, an exhibit will not be deemed inadmissible simply because it was not included on the original exhibit list, provided the exhibit/document was earlier produced to the opposing side during discovery.
