When is the deadline for supreme court - serve defence after leave to defend on summary judgment application?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from The making of the order giving the defendant leave to defend. 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
- 14 days
- Trigger
- The making of the order giving the defendant leave to defend
- 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 order granting leave may itself specify a different period, which then displaces the 14 days. O 3 r 5 also applies.
- Service of an O 14 summons before the defence suspends the O 20 r 4(1) obligation entirely. Always check the terms of the order first - the 14 days is only the fallback.
