When is the deadline for notice of action against the crown?

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.

Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 2 months
- Trigger
- Intended date of commencement of the action against the Crown or a Crown corporation; the notice must be served at least two months earlier
- 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.
- No power to dispense with the notice is conferred by the section.
- MANDATORY PRECONDITION TO SUIT, phrased as a prohibition: 'No action shall be brought'. The notice must state the proposed plaintiff's name and residence, the cause of action, and the court in which it is to be brought. 'Month' means calendar month: Interpretation Act, s 38(1). Plan backwards from the intended issue date, and note the interaction with the limitation period in s 15(2), encoded separately.
