When is the deadline for objection or consent to the form of a draft order?
The catalogue records a 5 working-days period from Day the draft order is delivered to the party. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
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
- 5 working-days
- Trigger
- Day the draft order is delivered to the party
- 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 78.04(3) applies only in the absence of directions. Rule 2.03(1)(c).
- ADDED ON VERIFICATION. Rule 78.04(3)(c) supplies the deeming consequence that makes this a real deadline rather than an administrative courtesy: "a party who fails to object to, or sign, the draft order in the required time is taken to consent to the form". Verified against the Official Consolidated Civil Procedure Rules, consolidation of 19 June 2026, published by the Courts of Nova Scotia.
