When is the deadline for cross-claim in proceedings commenced by statement of claim?
The catalogue records a 28 days period from Service of the statement of claim on the party wishing to cross-claim (the cross-claim period is tied to the defence period). 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

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
- 28 days
- Trigger
- Service of the statement of claim on the party wishing to cross-claim (the cross-claim period is tied to the defence period)
- 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.
- UCPR r 1.12, and r 9.1(1) itself permits a cross-claim within such further time as the court may allow. Not computed.
- The 28 days is imported from the defence period in r 14.3(1); if the court has directed a different time for the defence, the cross-claim period moves with it. In proceedings commenced by summons the corresponding limit is r 9.1(1)(b), before the return day specified in the summons. Pinpoint narrowed on verification to r 9.1(1)(a).
