When is the deadline for supreme court - serve defence?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from The later of the expiry of the time limited for appearing and service of the statement of claim. 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
- 14 days
- Trigger
- The later of the expiry of the time limited for appearing and service of the statement of claim
- 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 gives leave to the contrary." O 3 r 5(1)-(2) extension, available after expiry; O 3 r 5(3) extension by written consent without an order.
- Two candidate triggers, one period - compute both and take the later. Note O 12 r 5(2): a defendant who appears out of time gets no extra time for the defence unless the Court orders. The 24 December to 15 January suspension in O 3 r 3 applies to this period because a defence is a pleading.
