When is the deadline for responsible authority's statement and reports - three weeks?
The catalogue records a 21 days period from The date the responsible authority made the reference, or received a copy of the application or reference. 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
- 21 days
- Trigger
- The date the responsible authority made the reference, or received a copy of the application or reference
- 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 under HESC Rule 5(3)(a). Late statements are common in practice and the Tribunal will usually accept them, though it may issue directions, and persistent default can lead to an adjournment with criticism of the responsible authority.
- This is the workhorse deadline for the responsible authority in ordinary (non-s.2, non-conditional-discharge) cases. Three weeks means 21 calendar days. The contents of the statement are set by the applicable Practice Direction on statements and reports in mental health cases, which was not separately verified for this catalogue.
