When is the deadline for defence to crossclaim?
The catalogue records a 20 days period from Service of the statement of defence and crossclaim. 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.

- r 3.02(1) court may extend or abridge; r 3.02(4) extension by filed consent.
