When is the deadline for minimum period an offer to compromise must remain open for acceptance?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from The making of the offer to compromise. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.
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 making of the offer to compromise
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- An offer may be withdrawn within the first 14 days only with the Court's leave on application by the offeror, or where superseded by a more favourable offer (r 25.07).
- A minimum, not a deadline: an offer stated to be open for less than 14 days does not comply. Where no time for acceptance is stated, the offer may be accepted at any time before judgment is given (r 25.08(2)). Acceptance is by serving a notice of acceptance in Form 46 while the offer is open (r 25.08(3)). Costs consequences of non-acceptance are governed by r 25.14.
