geological report led by the defendant on November 20, 2000
is not a rebuttal report subject to the one-month ling require-
ment contained in 22 NYCRR 206.21 (f) but, rather, is in the
nature of an amended or supplemental report required to be
led within two months following the exchange of documents
by the Clerk pursuant to 22 NYCRR 206.21 (e).

cases decided in the Court of Claims under former Rules of
Practice rule 25a (22 NYCRR former 1200.27) as adopted in
1966 or amended in 1970. The amendment to the Uniform
Rules for the Court of Claims, eective July 1, 1979 and now
found in 22 NYCRR 206.21, established a party's right to le
amendments and supplements to an appraisal or other expert
report ‘‘[i]f a party intends at trial to oer proof correcting er-
rors in or adding pertinent matter to an appraisal or other
expert report’’ (22 NYCRR 206.21 [e]). Under the current rule,
the only condition attached to the exercise of the right is that
the amendment or supplement must be led within two months
following the exchange of the appraisals or reports by the
Clerk. The Court has already determined that the State's l-

party wishing to amend or supplement a led and exchanged
appraisal was required to make a motion addressed to the
court's discretion for permission to le and serve an amended
or supplemental appraisal.2 No such motion is required under
