When is the deadline for filing and service of a third party claim?
The catalogue records a 6 months period from Date on which the defendant FILED its statement of defence or demand for notice. 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
- 6 months
- Trigger
- Date on which the defendant FILED its statement of defence or demand for notice
- 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.
- Rule 13.5(1) and (2), by party agreement or court order, before or after expiry. Rule 3.44 sets the substantive grounds on which a third party claim may be filed.
- ADDED ON VERIFICATION: missing from the researched catalogue, which encoded the 20 day co-defendant contribution notice under r 3.43(2) but omitted the separate and far more consequential 6 month deadline for a full third party claim. The trigger is the defendant's own act of FILING its defence or demand for notice, not service on it. Counted under r 13.4(1) and (2). Verified against the Alberta King's Printer office consolidation of AR 124/2010 current to June 2026.
