In preparation

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
- 14 days
- Trigger
- The making of the offer
- 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.
- An offer cannot be withdrawn while it is open for acceptance without the permission of the Tribunal (s 114(3)).
- The period ends at the sooner of expiry of the specified period and the making of the Tribunal's orders, so the engine must also test the order date. Rejection of a complying offer engages the presumption of a costs order in s 112(2).
