When is the deadline for supreme court - serve originating summons where appearance not required?
The catalogue records a 10 days period from The return day of the summons (counted backwards). 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
- 10 days
- Trigger
- The return day of the summons (counted backwards)
- 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 otherwise directed by the Court." O 3 r 5 abridgement power.
- Expressly "clear days", so both the day of service and the return day are excluded under O 3 r 2(1). Where an appearance IS required to an originating summons, O 58 r 16 applies the O 5 r 11 table as if the writ were an originating summons. Corrected on verification: the notes attributed the application of the O 5 r 11 distance table to O 58 r 14, which is "Form and issue of originating summons"; the correct pinpoint is O 58 r 16 ("Time for appearance").
