When is the deadline for reply to defence?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from Service of the defence on the plaintiff. 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
- Service of the defence on the plaintiff
- 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 extension or abridgement. Not computed.
- No leave is required to file a reply in the Supreme Court or the District Court (r 14.4(1)); in the Local Court a reply may be filed only by leave of the Court (r 14.4(2)). Pinpoint narrowed on verification to r 14.4(3), which is the subrule that carries the 14 days.
