When is the deadline for application for assessment after one month from delivery (discretionary)?

Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 1 month
- Trigger
- Expiry of one month from delivery of the bill without an application under s.70(1)
- 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.
- Wholly discretionary: "the court may on such terms, if any, as it thinks fit". Terms commonly include payment of part or all of the bill into court. The one restriction on the court's terms is express: they may not be terms as to the costs of the assessment. Note that a solicitor may apply under this subsection at any time and is not restricted by s.70(3) or (4).
- periodMonths 1 records when this regime OPENS, not a deadline. The window is open-ended for a solicitor applicant, but for the client it closes progressively under s.70(3) (12 months from delivery, judgment obtained, or bill paid) and absolutely under s.70(4) (12 months from payment). An engine should model this as a state transition, not a single date.
