Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 7 days
- Trigger
- Service of the writ or originating motion on the defendant
- 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 Court may extend or abridge under SCR r 3.02(1), before or after expiry (r 3.02(2)); time may also be extended by consent without an order (r 3.02(3)). r 8.04 itself opens with "Unless the Court otherwise orders".
- This is a statutory minimum for the date stated on the face of the writ, not a free-standing deadline; the operative date is whatever the writ states, which must be at least this far after service. Filing is an act at the Registry so r 3.01(5) roll-forward applies. SCR r 3.04(1) excludes 24 December to 9 January from the count. A late appearance is still permitted (r 8.07(1)), but time for the defence then runs from the last day for appearance stated in the writ (r 8.07(2)).
