When is the deadline for exchange of lists of documents (automatic discovery)?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from Deemed close of pleadings as between the party and any other party (Order 18, rule 20). 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
- Deemed close of pleadings as between the party and any other party (Order 18, rule 20)
- 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.
- Bermuda retains automatic list-based discovery on the old English RSC model, not the English CPR 31 standard disclosure regime. The 14 days runs separately as between each pair of parties. Excluded in third party proceedings. By r.2(6) any application to limit or dispense with discovery must be issued before that same 14-day period expires. Mirrors old English RSC O.24 r.2.
