When is the deadline for supreme court - produce documents to the registry under subpoena to produce?
The catalogue records a 2 days period from The date specified in the subpoena for attendance and production (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
- 2 days
- Trigger
- The date specified in the subpoena for attendance and production (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.
- The issuing party may give notice of a later date or time, which then governs.
- Expressly "2 clear days", so both the day of receipt and the production date are excluded (O 3 r 2(1); Interpretation Act s 61(1)(f)). SHORT-PERIOD RULE ALSO ENGAGED: 2 days is less than 7, so O 3 r 2(2) excludes days the Central Office is closed. Note O 36B r 6(5A): this delivery cannot be effected by electronic filing. The last date for service of the subpoena is separately fixed by O 36B r 3(8)(a) as the date falling 5 days before the earliest date on which the addressee is required to comply, or an earlier or later date fixed by the court. Corrected on verification: the notes attributed the 5-day last-date-for-service rule to O 36B r 5, which is in fact "Party may request notice that subpoena to produce has been obeyed" and fixes no period; the correct pinpoint is O 36B r 3(8)(a).
