When is the deadline for fast track: file and serve answer to the claim?
The catalogue records a 21 days period from Service of the claim form on the defendant. 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
- 21 days
- Trigger
- Service of the claim form on the defendant
- 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.
- 21 days rather than the standard 28 days under r.35(3). The parties may agree an extension of up to 14 days: r.328(3).
