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.

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
- Filing of the defendant's appearance
- 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.
- SCR r 3.02(1)-(2) (extension before or after expiry); r 3.02(3) allows extension by consent without an order; r 14.04(c) allows the Court to direct another time.
- Runs from FILING the appearance, not from service of the writ. If the appearance is filed late, r 8.07(2) provides that time for the defence is instead calculated from the last day for appearance stated in the writ, unless the Court otherwise orders. Service only, so r 3.01(5) does not apply. SCR r 3.04(1) excludes 24 December to 9 January. Default judgment follows under r 21.02.
