When is the deadline for latest date to serve a formal offer to settle?
The catalogue records a 10 days period from Date a streamlined trial is scheduled to be heard, a trial is scheduled to start, or an application is scheduled to be heard or considered. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
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
- 10 days
- Trigger
- Date a streamlined trial is scheduled to be heard, a trial is scheduled to start, or an application is scheduled to be heard or considered
- 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). Withdrawal of a valid offer requires the Court's permission on proof of special circumstances (r 4.24(4)).
- VALIDITY, not merely timing: an offer served inside the 10 day window is not a valid formal offer and does not attract the r 4.29 costs consequences. Counted backward under r 13.3.
