On motion of any party who has engaged in a timely exchange of expert witness information, the court may grant leave to:
(Code of Civ. Proc., § 2034.610(a).)
This motion shall be made a sufficient time in advance to permit the deposition of any expert to whom the motion relates to be taken before the discovery cut-off, unless exceptional circumstances exist. (Code of Civ. Proc., § 2034.610,(b).) The motion shall be accompanied by a meet and confer declaration. (Code of Civ. Proc., § 2034.610(c).)
The court shall grant leave to augment or amend an expert witness list only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(Code of Civ. Proc. § 2034.620.)
The spirit of Code of Civil Procedure § 2034, though apparently not the letter of subdivision (j) itself, implies that a party who wishes to call at trial an expert who was not designated when expert witness information was exchanged and who is intended to take the place of a previously designated but now unavailable expert, must make a motion under subdivision (k) to augment that party's expert witness list to include the new expert. (Richaud v. Jennings (1993) 16 Cal.App.4th 81, 90-91.) The party cannot do nothing and then insist that the replacement expert can be called at trial on the ground that the party's failure to list the replacement expert when expert witness information was exchanged was not "unreasonable." (Id.) Nor can the party comply with the statute by unilaterally, without leave of court and at any time the party chooses, simply serving a so-called "supplemental" expert witness designation listing the new replacement expert. (Id.)
Augmentation of the expert witness designation has been allowed where the expert passed away before trial (see Richaud v. Jennings (1993) 16 Cal.App.4th 81, 89), as well as where the expert’s conclusions and deposition testimony were found to be unexpectedly detrimental to the party offering the expert (see Dickison v. Howen (1990) 220 Cal.App.3d 1471, 1478.)

On 4/25/19, this Court granted the motion and allowed defendants to augment their witness designation. The court’s order did not say whether the court was augmenting expert witness designation only to permit designation of a medical doctor to counter the opinions offered in Dr. Smith’s deposition or to permit the designation of any witness arguably relevant to the injuries the plaintiff suffered. Thus, the issue in this motion comes down to what the court intended in granting defendants’ motion to augment.

Gibbons’ opinions seem to be legal arguments in the guise of expert testimony. As such, they are improper subjects of expert testimony. That is a sufficient basis to grant the motion to exclude the testimony, and to deny the motion to augment Plaintiff’s expert witness designation. Moreover, Plaintiff admits that Gibbons was not listed on her expert witness designation, but through her motion, she seeks to augment the expert witness list to add Gibbons as a witness.
