When is the deadline for defendant's written evidence after an order extending the s.70(3) time limit?
The catalogue records a 21 days period from Service of the court's order extending the s.70(3) time limit. 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 court's order extending the s.70(3) time limit
- 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 directions period which applies unless the court orders otherwise (PD 62 para 6.1 applies the para 6 directions on that basis, and the court routinely sets a bespoke timetable in substantial challenges). Extendable by the court on ordinary case-management principles.
- Read with CPR 62.9(3)(c), which restarts acknowledgment and evidence time from service of the extension order. Computed as clear days under CPR 2.8(2) and (3), so the day of service does not count. The first sentence also matters procedurally: expect the extension to be decided on the papers, so the evidence filed with the application carries the weight.
