When is the deadline for third party notice?
The catalogue records a 28 days period from The end of the time limited for filing the defence of the defendant making the third party claim (or any longer period agreed by the plaintiff). 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
- 28 days
- Trigger
- The end of the time limited for filing the defence of the defendant making the third party claim (or any longer period agreed by the plaintiff)
- 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 give leave to file out of time (r 194(1) opening words, r 194(4)); UCPR r 7(1).
- The trigger is compound: it runs from whichever of the prescribed period or any agreed extension ends last. A third party notice may not be filed before the defendant has filed a defence (r 194(1)(a)).
