When is the deadline for reply to defence?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from the day the defence is served on the plaintiff. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 14 days
- Trigger
- the day the defence is served on the plaintiff
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays

This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Court Procedures Rules 2006 (ACT) r 6351 (extending and shortening by court order), expressly noted under r 480 (3).
- A reply is optional; it is not necessary to file one only to join issue on the defence (r 480 (2)). The reply must be served on the defendant on the day it is filed (r 480 (5)).
