The catalogue records a 6 months period from Date of issue of the writ. 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
- 6 months
- Trigger
- Date of issue of the writ
- 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.
- Wholly discretionary - the Court "may" direct a hearing, and at the hearing may strike out or instead make directions about service or the time for serving (r 4(2)).
- This is a risk date, not a party deadline: after 6 months from issue with no affidavit of service and no appearance, the writ becomes vulnerable. The show-cause hearing itself must be at least 7 days after the direction (clear days under Interpretation Act s 61(1)(f)).
