Objections to Videotaped Testimony
Rule 4:14- 9(f) requires that objections to the videotaped testimony of a treating physician and/or expert be presented to the court within 45 days following completion of the deposition, and the comments indicate that the failure to seek such a pretrial ruling will be deemed a waiver of any objection. The rationale behind the rule is that these objections should be dealt with pretrial so as not to delay the trial, which would be the result if the objections were presented after the trial started.
This approach, that is, of handling objections to the videotaped test imony does not apply to the videotaped testimony of experts taken pursuant to R. 4:36- 3.
