When is the deadline for reply to a defence?
The catalogue records a 21 days period from Receipt of the copy of the defence. 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
- 21 days
- Trigger
- Receipt of the copy of the defence
- 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.
- Permissive throughout: the claimant "may" file a reply. There is no sanction for not filing one, and the period is extendable under rule 19(2)(m). Rule 19(2)(b) separately allows the Tribunal to direct a reply, rejoinder or other additional pleadings.
- A pure case-management window. Diarise it as a work deadline rather than a jeopardy date.
