When is the deadline for motion to set aside or vary a judgment or order after entry?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from Entry of the judgment or order. 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
- Entry of the judgment or order
- 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.
- EXPRESSLY NON-EXTENDABLE. UCPR r 36.16(3C): "Despite rule 1.12, the court may not extend the time limited by subrule (3A) or (3B)." The general extension power in r 1.12 does not reach this period.
- This is one of the very few UCPR periods insulated from r 1.12. Once the 14 days has run, the applicant is confined to the narrower gateways in r 36.16(2) (default judgments other than those given in open court; judgments given or made in the absence of a party; and, in possession proceedings, judgments given in the absence of a person the court ordered to be added as a defendant), to the slip rule in r 36.17, or to an appeal. The trigger is ENTRY of the judgment, not the date it was pronounced; entry is a separate registry act under UCPR r 36.11 and the two dates frequently differ. Corrected on verification: the non-extension provision is r 36.16(3C), which the researched entry described but did not cite by subrule.
