When is the deadline for respondent's notice after the appeal notice?
The catalogue records a 10 days period from The earlier of service of an amended appeal notice under r.50.20(5), or the expiry of the time for serving any such amended notice. 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
- 10 days
- Trigger
- The earlier of service of an amended appeal notice under r.50.20(5), or the expiry of the time for serving any such amended notice
- 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.
- The note to r.50.21 states expressly: 'Under rule 50.17, the High Court may extend or shorten the time limit under this rule.' Routinely varied by directions.
- Note the WHICHEVER-IS-FIRST trigger, which in the ordinary case (no amendment served) means the clock starts when the 10 business days for amendment under r.50.20(5) expire, giving roughly 20 business days from the original appeal notice. A respondent's notice is mandatory if the party wants to make representations or if the court so directs (r.50.21(1)).
