When is the deadline for setting the action down for trial - ground for dismissal for delay?
The catalogue records a 6 months period from Close of pleadings (r 25.05). 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
- 6 months
- Trigger
- Close of pleadings (r 25.05)
- 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.
- This is a ground for a defendant's motion, not an automatic dismissal. The court retains discretion whether to dismiss, and r 3.02(1) allows extension of the underlying time.
- Contrast r 48.14(1), under which the registrar dismisses automatically at the fifth anniversary. Rule 24.01(1)(c) merely opens the door to a defendant's motion.
