When is the deadline for simplified action - serve expert affidavit or statement?
The catalogue records a 60 days period from Commencement of the trial. 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
- 60 days
- Trigger
- Commencement of the trial
- 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.
- The Court may order otherwise (opening words of r 299(1.1)).
- Counts backward, clear days. This 60 day expert rule survives ONLY for simplified actions. In an ordinary action the corresponding obligation is now service with the pre-trial conference materials under r 279(b), read with rr 258(1) and 262 - do not apply 60 days to an ordinary action.
