(

a) If a plaintiff to whom a demand for a physical examination under this

article is directed fails to serve a timely response to it, that plaintiff waives any objection to the demand. The court, on motion, may relieve that plaintiff from this waiver on its determination that both of the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) The plaintiff has subsequently served a response that is in substantial compliance with

Section 2032.230.

(2) The plaintiff’s failure to serve a timely response was the result of mistake, inadvertence, or excusable neglect. (

b) The defendant may move for an order compelling response and compliance with a demand for a physical examination. (

c) The court shall impose a monetary sanction under

Chapter 7 (commencing with

Section 2023.010) against any party, person, or attorney who unsuccessfully makes or opposes a motion to compel response and compliance with a demand for a physical examination, unless it finds that the one subject to the sanction acted with substantial justification or that other circumstances make the imposition of the sanction unjust. (

d) If a plaintiff then fails to obey the order compelling response and compliance, the court may make those orders that are just, including the imposition of an issue sanction, an evidence sanction, or a terminating sanction under

Chapter 7 (commencing with

Section 2023.010). In lieu of or in addition to that sanction the court may impose a monetary sanction under

Chapter 7 (commencing with

Section 2023.010).
