Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 12 months
- Trigger
- The date the last document was filed in the case by any party
- 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.
- "Unless the Court orders otherwise." Cases may be removed from the Inactive Cases List under DCR r 44F.
- Escalating consequences: a registrar may issue a summons to show cause (r 44B), a springing order may put the case on the Inactive Cases List (r 44C), and under r 44G certain inactive cases are taken to have been dismissed. Compare the Supreme Court's different mechanism in RSC O 3 r 7 (one month's notice of intention to proceed after a year's delay).
