Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 10 working-days
- Trigger

- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays

This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Rule 5.19(1) itself - "unless otherwise ordered by a judge". Rule 5.13(2)(m) permits a judge on the initial motion for directions to set the finish date.
- ADDED ON VERIFICATION, and load-bearing: r 5.19(2) requires each party to complete all prehearing procedures before the finish date, r 5.18(1) requires any notice of objection to admissibility to be filed on a date set by a judge that must be before it, and r 5.19(3) exposes a late party to Rule 88 - Abuse of Process. Note that the figure has changed since the 2021 practice guidance, which described the finish date in an application in court as sixty days before the hearing; the current consolidation fixes it at ten days before the further motion for directions.
