When is the deadline for service of a costs statement after notice requiring it?
The catalogue records a 30 days period from Service of a notice under r 709A(1) requiring a costs statement. 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
- 30 days
- Trigger
- Service of a notice under r 709A(1) requiring a costs statement
- 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 consequence is discretionary: the court MAY direct service within a stated time, and on non-compliance may set aside the costs order or allow costs in a fixed (possibly nominal) amount (r 709A(3)).
- r 705 itself imposes no period; the obligation is enlivened by a r 709A(1) notice given where a costs statement has not been served within a reasonable time.
