When is the deadline for application to set aside default judgment where the respondent was served under the service convention?

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
- 12 months
- Trigger
- The date the default judgment was given
- 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.
- The Court may set aside the judgment only if satisfied of both matters in r 10.72(2): that the respondent, without any fault, did not have knowledge of the initiating process in sufficient time to defend, and that the respondent has a prima facie defence on the merits. Nothing in the rule affects the Court's other powers to set aside or vary a judgment (r 10.72(4)).
- Added on verification: missing from the researched catalogue. Applies only to proceedings within Division 10.4 Subdivision governing service under the Hague Service Convention, where default judgment has been entered against a respondent served abroad.
