When is the deadline for service of defence after leave to defend given on a summary judgment summons?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from Date of the order giving the defendant leave to defend on an Order 14 summons. 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
- Date of the order giving the defendant leave to defend on an Order 14 summons
- 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.
- Service of an Order 14 summons suspends the ordinary defence deadline entirely. The engine must therefore treat service of an Order 14 summons as a stop event on the O.18 r.2(1) clock, and restart at 14 days from the date of any order granting leave to defend unless the order specifies otherwise. Mirrors old English RSC O.18 r.2(2).
