Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 1 year
- Trigger
- Date the civil claim is filed
- Counting

- Extension only on an application FILED BEFORE the one-year limit expires, and capped at 3 months by s 4(2). Never compute the extension.
- Mirrors Rules of Court r 3.26 in structure and effect. Consequence of default is s 4(4): no further proceedings may be taken against a defendant not served in time. Service within an extension must be accompanied by a copy of or written notice of the order (s 4(3)).
