When is the deadline for pre-action meeting?
The catalogue records a 21 days period from The time for service of the last pre-action document under Chapter 7 Part 1 Division 3. 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
- 21 days
- Trigger
- The time for service of the last pre-action document under Chapter 7 Part 1 Division 3
- 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.
- "or such later time as the parties may unanimously agree".
- The obligation to negotiate arrangements for the meeting arises if the dispute is not resolved within 7 days after the time for service of the last pre-action document and arrangements have not already been agreed (r 61.12(1)). Note the trigger is the TIME FOR service of the last pre-action document, not the date of actual service.
