When is the deadline for notice of defence - notification elsewhere in canada?
The catalogue records a 30 working-days period from Day the defendant or third party is notified, where notification is by personal service elsewhere in Canada or by other means completed entirely in Canada. 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.

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 working-days
- Trigger
- Day the defendant or third party is notified, where notification is by personal service elsewhere in Canada or by other means completed entirely in Canada
- 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 31.12(6) - parties may agree to, or a judge may order, longer or shorter periods. Rule 2.03(1)(c).
- Nova Scotia sets the defence period by PLACE of service, not by method of service. Do not import the New York model, which varies the answer period by method. Thirty clear working days is a very long calendar span - frequently 42 or more calendar days.
