Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 20 days
- Trigger
- Date of service of the civil claim on the defendant in Alberta
- 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.
- Section 5(3) expressly permits a late dispute note: "A defendant may file a dispute note after the expiry of the applicable time in subsection (1) unless the defendant has been noted in default or a default judgment has been entered." That is a statutory relieving provision, not a discretion to compute.
- Note the practical softness of the deadline: the defendant may file late so long as they have not been noted in default and no default judgment has been entered. Compare the King's Bench position under Rules of Court r 3.36, which is not so forgiving. Monetary jurisdiction is set by s 2 of the Regulation. Corrected on verification: the researched entry flagged the counting basis as unresolved. It is resolvable. Alta Reg 176/2018 has no computation-of-time provision, so Interpretation Act s 22(4) governs and produces the same first-day-excluded result as Rules of Court r 13.3. The monetary jurisdiction is $100,000, prescribed by s 2 of the Regulation as amended by AR 86/2023, not by the Court of Justice Act itself.
