When is the deadline for service of a summons for an application in chambers?
The catalogue records a 4 days period from The day specified in the summons for the hearing of the application. 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
- 4 days
- Trigger
- The day specified in the summons for the hearing of the application
- 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.
- Note this is four days, not four clear days, so only O.3 r.2(3) (period ends immediately before the hearing date) and the short-period exclusion in O.3 r.2(5) apply. A summons asking only for an extension or abridgement of time may be served the day before the hearing (O.32 r.3(1)). Evidence in support must be served with the summons, so the evidence deadline is the same date.
