Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 7 working-days
- Trigger
- The day the document was sent by pre-paid post
- Counting

- The Court may order deemed service on a different date under r 10.23, or substituted service under r 10.24.

Expressed in business days as defined in the FCR Dictionary. Applies to ordinary service under r 10.31, not to personal service of an originating application under Div 10.1.
