When is the deadline for supreme court - enter cause, matter or issue for trial after a direction to do so?
The catalogue records a 4 weeks period from The day on which the direction under O 33 r 1(b) is given. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
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
- 4 weeks
- Trigger
- The day on which the direction under O 33 r 1(b) is given
- 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 direction itself may specify a different time. O 3 r 5 general extension power.
- Added on verification: the researched catalogue encoded the District Court's 120-day entry-for-trial deadline (DCR 2005 r 37(1)) but omitted the Supreme Court's equivalent. The consequences are serious: once the entry period ends, another party may enter the matter for trial (O 33 r 2(1A)) and, where the defaulting party is the plaintiff, any party may apply to dismiss the claim for want of prosecution (O 33 r 2(1B)). Note that DCR 2005 r 29 disapplies RSC Order 33 in the District Court, so this entry is Supreme Court only.
