When is the deadline for third party's statement of defence to the plaintiff's claim?
The catalogue records a 30 days period from Service of the third party claim on the third party. 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
- 30 days
- Trigger
- Service of the third party claim on the third party
- 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.
- Extendable on motion under r 8; extendable once by consent under r 7.
- The period tracks r 204, so it is 30 days if the third party is served in Canada or the United States and 60 days if served elsewhere, with a further 10 days if a notice of intention to respond is filed. A third party who defends neither claim is deemed to admit the matters in r 199(2).
