Such written report must include:
      (1)   the title and index number of the action;
      (2)   the court and the judge before whom the hearing is scheduled;

Sixty days after the date of the scheduled hearing, if the party or its attorney has not provided to the licensee a written report of the result of such hearing, the licensee must search for the result in the file in the office of the clerk of the court where such hearing was scheduled to occur. If the clerk's file does not contain a result sixty days after the hearing, the licensee must search for the result in the clerk's file ninety days after the scheduled date of such hearing.
