When is the deadline for filing proof of service?
The catalogue records a 2 days period from Service of the document. 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
- 2 days
- Trigger
- Service of the document
- 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 subject to a contrary order: "unless a judge or the Registrar otherwise orders". Rule 6(1) also applies.
- SHORT-PERIOD RULE APPLIES: two days is less than six, so r 5(2) excludes all holidays, Saturdays and Sundays. Proof takes the form of an affidavit of service in Form 20 (with the relevant annexures for the mode used), a certificate of service by an authorised person under provincial or territorial rules, or an admission of service (r 20(8)(a) to (f)). Proof of service of either the printed or the electronic version is sufficient (r 20(7)).
