01

Subject

The points address how an expert report fixes the claim value before the court of first instance, the timing to challenge a judicial warning, the validity of a special power, and proving a contractual relationship and contractual fault for non‑performance. - An expert report in which the claimant stated the value of the claim before the court of first instance serves to fix the claim’s value, and that valuation remains unless the claimant limits the claim in the appellate pleading to a lower amount. - A plea contesting the validity of service of a judicial warning must be raised before entering the merits of the case, otherwise the right to that plea is lost; if the opponent advances substantive defenses before such a plea, they are deemed to have waived it. - A special power that specifies the parties, the subject, and the claim, including names and particulars, satisfies formal requirements and is not defeated by an objection of gross vagueness. - The contractual relationship is proven by the written agreement and supporting evidence, and failure to perform—when it is shown that the delivered produce did not meet the agreed specifications—constitutes contractual fault giving rise to compensation.

02

Summary

The material shows that an expert report can determine the procedural valuation of a claim unless reduced by the claimant on appeal; objections to judicial warnings must be asserted before addressing the merits or are forfeited. It also confirms that a properly detailed special power is valid and that written contracts with corroborating evidence establish the relationship, while non‑conforming performance amounts to a breach entitling compensation.
