When is the deadline for defendant's skeleton argument?
The catalogue records a 1 day period from The hearing date. 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
- 1 day
- Trigger
- The hearing date
- 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.
- A standard direction applying unless the court orders otherwise (PD 62 para 6.1), and in practice frequently displaced by the court's listing directions or the applicable court guide.
- COUNTING. Expressed as a single day before the hearing. Under CPR 2.8(3) the hearing date is excluded, and under CPR 2.8(4) a period of 5 days or less excludes Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays, so for a Monday hearing the deadline is the preceding Friday, not the Sunday. Treat this as a floor, not a target: the relevant court guide will usually require more notice.
