OPINION

JOHNSON, J.

In this case we hold a mistrial, new trial or reversal of the judgment on appeal automatically restarts the time limitations on discovery. Thus, where a mistrial was declared, plaintiff's subsequent demand for exchange of expert witness information was timely because it was made more than 70 days before the date set for retrial.
