When is the deadline for inspector's response to a notice appeal?
The catalogue records a 28 days period from Date the copy of the claim form (appeal) was sent by the Tribunal. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
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
- 28 days
- Trigger
- Date the copy of the claim form (appeal) was sent by the Tribunal
- 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.
- Extendable. An application for extension may be made under the general case management powers, and the Tribunal may direct a different period under rule 16(2) or (3). Late responses are dealt with under the rules on rejection and extension rather than by automatic exclusion, and tribunals commonly permit late responses where there is a reasonable explanation.
- Rule 103(2)(b) modifies the standard rules for notice appeals so that references to 'a respondent' are read as references to the inspector appointed under HSWA s 19(1) who issued the notice. So this is the inspector's deadline, not the appellant's. Rule 17 was not amended by SI 2026/115.
