When is the deadline for file request for hearing date on solicitor-and-client assessment (form n258c)?
The catalogue records a 3 months period from Date of the order for the costs to be assessed (earliest point: after points of dispute have been served). 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.

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
- 3 months
- Trigger
- Date of the order for the costs to be assessed (earliest point: after points of dispute have been served)
