When is the deadline for notice of defence to counterclaim or crossclaim?
The catalogue records a 10 working-days period from Day of delivery of the counterclaim or crossclaim to the party's designated address for delivery. 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.

Calculation basis and source
- Period

- Trigger

This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Rule 31.12(6); Rule 2.03(1)(c).
- Rule 31.12(2)(b) supplies the alternative: where a notice of crossclaim is delivered to a defendant who has not filed a notice of defence or demand for notice designating an address for delivery in the main action, the period is 'the same time as for a defence to an action' - i.e. the 15/30/45 day ladder in r 31.12(1) keyed to place of notification. Select the branch on whether the recipient has a designated address for delivery on file.
