The catalogue records a 8 working-days period from The date for hearing shown on the application (counted backwards). 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
- 8 working-days
- Trigger
- The date for hearing shown on the application (counted backwards)
- 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.
- UCPR r 7(2) allows the court to shorten a time that has not ended.
- Applies to summary judgment for a plaintiff under r 292 and for a defendant under r 293. Neither r 292 nor r 293 imposes a deadline for making the application: a plaintiff may apply 'at any time after a defendant files a notice of intention to defend' and a defendant 'at any time after filing a notice of intention to defend'.
