Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 14 days
- Trigger
- Service of the offer of compromise
- 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.
- No power to extend; the period ends at the earlier of expiry and verdict or judgment.
- Acceptance is by serving written notice of acceptance on the offeror, so the acceptance is a service act and r 3.01(5) does not apply on its own terms. The cut-off is the sooner of expiry of the period and verdict or judgment, so the engine must also test the verdict date. Corrected on verification: the entry previously cited the Supreme Court (General Civil Procedure) Rules 2015 (Vic), which was revoked on sunset on 10 September 2025. The provision is reproduced without relevant change in the Supreme Court (General Civil Procedure) Rules 2025 (Vic) S.R. No. 85/2025 (authorised version 003 as at 1 January 2026), and the citation has been restated to that instrument. Corrected on verification: the rollover was encoded as 'review' because the act is not done at the office of the Court and r 3.01(5) of the revoked 2015 Rules was confined to such acts. Rule 3.01(5) of the Supreme Court (General Civil Procedure) Rules 2025 omits the words 'at the office of the Court', so the rollover to the next open day now applies to this act.
