Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 10 days
- Trigger
- Day on which the trial or hearing is commenced
- 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.
- The court retains its general discretion as to costs; the rule's own costs consequences are expressed as applying 'unless ordered otherwise'.
- NOT A MANDATORY STEP: an offer can be made at any time before trial. What the 10 days control is whether the Rule 49.09 costs consequences apply. Rule 49.04(3): the costs consequences also do not apply to an offer revoked before the commencement of the trial or hearing.
