When is the deadline for duration of a warrant for the arrest of an absconding defendant?
The catalogue records a 2 months period from The issue of the warrant. 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
- 2 months
- Trigger
- The issue of the warrant
- 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 issue the warrant at any time, including before service of the claim or before judgment (r 935(2)), and may fix an amount entitling the defendant to be released (r 935(4)-(5)).
- Added on verification: mentioned only in a note in the researched catalogue. This is the absconding-defendant arrest warrant under ch 20 and is distinct from the 1 year enforcement warrant in r 820(1)(b) and r 908(1)(b). The warrant may state an earlier end date.
