Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Courts would no longer be allowed to change or skip deadlines for sharing evidence in lawsuits unless everyone involved agrees to it. If someone misses these deadlines, the court must charge them a fine and may require them to pay the other side's lawyer fees. These penalties are required and cannot be waived by a judge.
