When is the deadline for deemed effective date of service by ordinary mail?
The catalogue records a 10 days period from Day on which the document is mailed. 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
- Day on which the document is mailed
- 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 validate irregular service under r 147 and may relieve against the consequences of default under r 148.
- Feeds the start date of every downstream period triggered by "service". Service by registered mail or courier is instead effective on the day of delivery indicated on the receipt (r 143(3)). Service of a document other than an originating document or warrant that is effected on a holiday or after 5:00 p.m. local time at the recipient is effective on the next day that is not a holiday (r 143(1)). A document served by ordinary mail may be filed before the day its service becomes effective (r 144). Rule 143 read in full on verification.
