When is the deadline for small claims court - defendant's claim?
The catalogue records a 20 days period from The day on which the defence is filed. 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
- 20 days
- Trigger
- The day on which the defence is filed
- 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.
- Clause (b) itself permits issue after the twenty days, before trial or default judgment, with leave of the court. r 3.02(1) also applies.
- Note the trigger is the FILING of the defence, not its service. Holidays are counted (no short-period exclusion in O Reg 258/98, r 3.01).
