Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 21 days
- Trigger
- Close of pleadings as between the party and the other party (computed under r 14.08)
- 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.
- "or within such other time as the Court allows"; SCR r 3.02. Non-compliance with a subsequent order engages r 24.02 (dismissal or striking out of defence).
- Does not apply in third party proceedings (r 29.03(3)) but does apply to a counterclaim (r 29.03(4)). Delivery to the other party, not filing, so r 3.01(5) does not apply. Verified drafting point: r 29.03(3) as enacted reads "Without prejudice to any directions given by the Court under rule 11.13, this subrule does not apply in a third party proceeding". Read literally, "this subrule" is circular; the orthodox reading, supported by r 29.03(4) ("Subrule (2) also applies to and in relation to a counterclaim"), is that the exclusion is directed at the discovery obligation in subrules (1) and (2).
