When is the deadline for reply to a response to civil claim?
The catalogue records a 7 days period from Service of the response to civil claim. 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
- 7 days
- Trigger
- Service of the response to civil claim
- 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.
- Court may extend or shorten under r 22-4(2); extension by consent under r 22-4(3).
- Permissive, not mandatory - a reply is optional and the absence of one is not a default. IMPORTANT COUNTING POINT: 7 days is NOT 'less than 7 days', so r 22-4(1) does NOT apply and holidays ARE counted. A 6 day period would be counted differently from this 7 day period. This is exactly the boundary the BC short-period rule turns on. Corrected on verification: the encoded statutory wording omitted the closing words "in Form 7"; the 7 day period and every other element are confirmed against the primary text of SCCR r 3-6(1) (BC Laws consolidation of BC Reg 168/2009).
