When is the deadline for respondent's defence to an appeal?
The catalogue records a 42 days period from Date on which the respondent received a copy of the notice of appeal under rule 14(1)(b). 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
- 42 days
- Trigger
- Date on which the respondent received a copy of the notice of appeal under rule 14(1)(b)
- 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.
- Extension is built into the rule itself: "or such further time as the Tribunal may allow". No exceptional-circumstances threshold. Extensions are a routine case-management matter, commonly agreed at the first CMC. See also rule 19(2)(m) (abridgement or extension of any time limits, whether or not expired).
- Six weeks is exactly 42 days under rule 112(3) (a period in weeks ends on the same day of the week). Substituted periods apply in two situations: four weeks for a review under Enterprise Act 2002 s.120 (rule 26(2)) and four weeks for a penalty appeal under s.114 (rule 28(2)).
