When is the deadline for defence to counterclaim by a party added by counterclaim?
The catalogue records a 20 days period from Day of service of the Statement of Defence and Counterclaim on the party added by counterclaim. 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

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
- 20 days
- Trigger
- Day of service of the Statement of Defence and Counterclaim on the party added by counterclaim
- 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.
- Rule 3.02(1), (2) and (4). Never compute an extension.
- The added party gets 20 days, double the 10 days given to the plaintiff under Rule 28.04(1), because for the added party the Counterclaim is an originating process (Rule 1.04(c)).
