If the expert fails to respond within five days from the date of receipt of the notice, the court shall dismiss him and order him to return the amounts he received, without prejudice to the imposition of disciplinary penalties and the right of the concerned parties to seek compensation from said expert. 2.

If it is established to the court that the delay in submitting the report is due to one of the litigants, a fine not exceeding ten thousand riyals shall be imposed on said litigant and the court may decide to forfeit his right to invoke the expert appointment decision.
