When is the deadline for service of an amended pleading?
The catalogue records a 7 days period from Filing of the amended pleading. 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
- 7 days
- Trigger
- Filing of the amended pleading
- 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 otherwise order; general extension power under r 22-4(2).
- Rule 6-1(4)(b) imposes a separate, unquantified obligation to serve an amended ORIGINATING pleading by personal service 'promptly after filing ... and before taking any further step' on any person served with the original who has not filed a responding pleading. That limb cannot be computed. Rule 6-1(1) restricts when amendment is available without leave: once, at any time before service of the notice of trial.
