When is the deadline for notice of contest of a respondent's claim in an application in court?
The catalogue records a 2 working-days period from Day of the hearing of the initial motion for directions. 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
- 2 working-days
- Trigger
- Day of the hearing of the initial motion for directions
- 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 2.03(1)(c).
- ADDED ON VERIFICATION. Backward period, and unusual in being keyed to the initial motion for directions rather than to the day of notification. Because r 5.07(3) caps the initial motion for directions at thirty-five days after the notice of application is filed, this deadline can arrive very early in the life of the proceeding. Verified against the Official Consolidated Civil Procedure Rules, consolidation of 19 June 2026, published by the Courts of Nova Scotia.
