When is the deadline for noting a defendant in default before exposure to dismissal for delay?
The catalogue records a 30 days period from Day on which the defendant's default in filing and serving the Statement of Defence occurs. 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
- 30 days
- Trigger
- Day on which the defendant's default in filing and serving the Statement of Defence occurs
- 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.
- Dismissal is discretionary. Rule 21.01(5): until a defendant has been noted in default he may file and serve his Statement of Defence.
- Added on verification: missing from the researched catalogue. This is not a step the plaintiff must take, but failure to take it within 30 days opens the action to a dismissal-for-delay application by a non-defaulting defendant.
