When is the deadline for reply in the main action?
The catalogue records a 10 days period from Day of service of the Statement of Defence. 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
- 10 days
- Trigger
- Day of service of the Statement of Defence
- 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.
- Added on verification: this pleading deadline was missing from the researched catalogue even though it fixes the close of pleadings, which is itself the trigger for Rules 26.01(c), 31.02(3), 79.06 and 79.09. Rule 27.05 provides that pleadings are deemed closed on the noting of the defendant in default, on the service of the Reply, or when the time for service of the Reply has expired. Rule 27.07(2): if a Reply is not filed and served in time the pleadings close and every allegation of fact in the defence is deemed to be denied.
