When is the deadline for small claims court - service of the claim?
The catalogue records a 6 months period from The date the claim is issued. 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
- 6 months
- Trigger
- The date the claim is issued
- 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.
- Expressly extendable by the court before or after the six months has elapsed - the rule itself says so, which is more generous than the Superior Court equivalent in r 14.08(1).
- Mirrors RCP r 14.08(1) in length but carries its own express extension power.
