When is the deadline for service of an interlocutory summons in chambers?
The catalogue records a 2 days period from Day specified in the summons for the hearing. 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
- 2 days
- Trigger
- Day specified in the summons for the hearing
- 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.
- This is the default interlocutory notice period, displaced by any specific rule (for example the 10 clear days for an Order 14 summons under O.14 r.2(3)). Two clear days falls within the seven-day threshold, so Saturdays and public holidays (including Sundays) are excluded under O.3 r.2(5). By O.32 r.4(2), a generally adjourned summons may be restored on two clear days' notice.
