When is the deadline for third party defence?
The catalogue records a 20 days period from Day of 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
- 20 days
- Trigger
- Day of 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.
- Rule 3.02(1), (2) and (4). Never compute an extension.
- Corrected on verification: Rule 30.03(2) does not deem an absent third party to admit. It provides that where a Third Party Defence is filed but DOES NOT DISPUTE the liability of the defendant to the plaintiff, the third party is deemed to admit the validity of a judgment obtained by the plaintiff against the defendant, except a judgment obtained on consent or by default.
