    3. In any event, full compliance with such order shall be furnished to the moving party at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the trial or such later time as the court shall expressly authorize; the adverse parties having the continuing duty to disclose and/or produce the requested results of any electronic/photographic surveillence conducted in the interim. Upon motion, either party may request a reasonable adjournment of the trial in order to review/inspect such disclosures made during this interim period.
    4. The failure of any adverse party to obtain the deposition of any party who is the subject of such pre-trial surveillance shall not
excuse such party from compliance with this expanded disclosure order unless such failure to obtain such depositions is due to the dilatory tactics of the party requesting the disclosure.
    5. The failure of the moving party to produce any subject of the electronic/photographic surveillance for deposition in accordance with the rules of practice, shall excuse the adverse party from compliance with this order.
    6. All parties shall act in good faith in discharging their duties under this expanded discovery order. Failure to do so may subject the offending party to sanctions pursuant to P.B. section 231.
