When is the deadline for supreme court - file and deliver defence?
The catalogue records a 21 days period from The later of delivery of the statement of claim and expiry of the period for filing a notice of appearance. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.
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 later of delivery of the statement of claim and expiry of the period for filing a notice of appearance
- 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.
- Rules 52 and 53 permit court-ordered or, where applicable, written consensual extensions. Rule 266(1) does not govern while the plaintiff has made the specified application for judgment.
- The input must be the later of the two dates stated in the rule; calculating from service of the writ alone is unsafe. Forward count: r 47 excludes that later date. Rule 48 excludes 23 December to 7 January because a defence is a pleading. Rule 51 rolls a closed last day to the next open day.
