When is the deadline for objection to a notice to admit the substance of a witness's evidence?
The catalogue records a 7 days period from Service of the notice under r 154.14(1). 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
- 7 days
- Trigger
- Service of the notice under r 154.14(1)
- 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.
- r 12.1(2)(c).
- Added on verification: the researcher encoded the proponent's 14-day notice under r 154.14(1) but left the responding party's 7-day objection window in a note. Failure to object within 7 days produces a deemed admission of the content of the notice, a substantive loss on the eve of trial, so it belongs in the catalogue in its own right. Note the objection must incorporate detailed reasons; a bare objection does not stop the deeming.
