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.

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
- 25 working-days
- Trigger
- Day the respondent is notified of the application in accordance with Rule 31
- 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). The initial motion for directions under Rule 5.13 may set a different schedule.
- ADDED ON VERIFICATION. Runs in parallel with, and on the same trigger and period as, the notice of contest under r 5.08(1). Contrast r 5.09: a respondent to a CHAMBERS application who wishes to claim against the applicant must start an independent proceeding, so there is no equivalent deadline there. Verified against the Official Consolidated Civil Procedure Rules, consolidation of 19 June 2026, published by the Courts of Nova Scotia.
