When is the deadline for authority to agree or propose alternative case management directions?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from Service of the appellant's proposed case management directions, which are filed and served together with the appellant's 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.

Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 14 days
- Trigger
- Service of the appellant's proposed case management directions, which are filed and served together with the appellant's 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.
- Expressly prefaced by "Unless the court orders otherwise". This is ordinary case management and the court varies it readily, particularly where a section 204A accommodation issue has to be listed urgently. Note however that CPR 52.15(2) prevents the parties from simply agreeing an extension between themselves; a court order is needed.
- Sub-paragraph (a) is a same-day obligation on the appellant, not a period: the proposed directions go in WITH the appellant's notice, so they must be drafted before filing rather than afterwards. This catches out practitioners who treat the 21-day statutory deadline as the only thing to prepare for.
