The time for completion of discovery and other pretrial procedures depends upon
the track to which the case is assigned. The case type normally determines the track on
which the case will be placed. The applicable discovery periods for each track are:
Track I (150 days’ discovery)
Track II (300 days’ discovery)
Track III (450 days’ discovery)
Track IV (450 days’ discovery).
b. Calculation of Discovery Period
Discovery runs from the date the first answer is filed or from 90 days after the first
defendant is served, whichever is first. See R. 4:24-1.
c. Discovery End Date Notice
Pursuant to R. 4:36 -2, the court must send every party a discovery end date notice
60 days prior to the end of the prescribed discovery period.
