What Is a Scott Schedule?
A Scott Schedule is a structured table used to separate individual disputed issues. It is commonly discussed where there are several alleged defects or items, but the actual order and applicable procedure determine the format and required columns.
Practical guide
Why a schedule can help
Item-by-item rows can make it easier to see the issue, the response and referenced material without mixing separate points together. Brevity and a clear structure are usually more helpful than narrative repetition.
Practical guide
Practical organisation
Start with customer-supplied items and keep each row distinct. Use neutral descriptions and stable references to supporting documents where the agreed scope includes them.
- Item number or reference
- Short supplied issue description
- Relevant document references
- Space for the parties’ or reviewer’s positions where instructed
Practical guide
Important limits
A schedule does not determine whether a defect is true, who is liable or what amount is recoverable. Disclosure Assist does not decide disputed facts or legal outcomes.
