When is the deadline for service of statement of defence and counterclaim on a party added by counterclaim?
The catalogue records a 30 days period from Day the Statement of Defence and Counterclaim is issued. 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
- 30 days
- Trigger
- Day the Statement of Defence and Counterclaim is issued
- 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: missing from the researched catalogue. Two separate obligations run from the counterclaim: issue within the Rule 20.01 defence period, and serve the added party within 30 days of issue.
