When is the deadline for notice of a fitness to practise committee hearing?
The catalogue records a 28 days period from Date fixed for the hearing (counting backwards). 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 fixed for the hearing (counting backwards)
- 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.
- No express shortening power in rule 11, unlike the GMC's rule 15 which allows a lesser period with consent or in the public interest. In practice defects in notice are dealt with as service and fairness issues under rule 21 (proceeding in absence).
- Rule 11(2)(a) additionally requires the notice to be sent as soon as practicable after any preliminary meeting held under rule 18. Rule 11(3)(l) invites the registrant to state any admissions in writing no later than 28 days after service of the notice.
