When is the deadline for supreme court - minimum time a notice for admission of facts must allow?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from Service of the notice for admission of facts. 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 notice for admission of facts
- 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 time is chosen by the serving party subject to the 14-day statutory floor. An admission taken to have been made under r 35.03(2) may be withdrawn only by leave of the Court (r 35.03(3)). SCR r 3.02 applies to the time as expressed in the notice.
- Added on verification: a deemed-admission trap the researcher omitted entirely. The 14 days is a FLOOR on the time the notice may specify, not a fixed deadline of its own; the operative date is whatever the notice states, which must be at least 14 days after service. Failure to serve a notice disputing the fact within the time allowed means the party "shall, for the purpose of the proceeding only, be taken to admit the fact" (r 35.03(2)), and judgment may then be given on the admissions under r 35.04. Disputing is a pure service step, so the r 3.01(5) Registry roll-forward does not apply; SCR r 3.04(1) excludes 24 December to 9 January from the count. Verified against the Supreme Court Rules 1987 (NT) as in force at 23 June 2025 (legislation.nt.gov.au).
