When is the deadline for compliance with requisitions on an application not in order?
The catalogue records a 20 working-days period from Date of the registrar's requisition. 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
- 20 working-days
- Trigger
- Date of the registrar's requisition
- 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.
- Rule 16(2): "If the applicant fails to comply with the requisitions within that period, the registrar may cancel the application or may extend the period when this appears to him to be reasonable in the circumstances." Extensions are commonly granted on a reasoned request, but cancellation is a real risk and, if the application was protected by an official search, cancellation destroys the priority.
- 20 working days is a statutory minimum only; diarise the date on the requisition. Rule 216A(4)(c) extends this period for any certified interrupted working day. Rule 16(3) separately allows rejection on delivery, or cancellation at any time, of a substantially defective application.
