When is the deadline for respondent's statement of grounds (counter charges) on election petition?
The catalogue records a 7 days period from the day the respondent files a notice of appearance. 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
- 7 days
- Trigger
- the day the respondent files a notice of appearance
- 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 rule contains its own extension power: 'or within such further time as the Court or a Justice allows'. General enlargement power under r 4.02.
- Applies only where the petition claims the seat for a person who was not returned. The grounds must be set out with the same particularity required of a petition, which imports the standard in Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (Cth) s 355(aa).
