Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 21 days
- Trigger
- Receipt of the application to state a case, or the making of an order of mandamus where the justices refused
- 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.
- Applies to civil case stated under section 62 of the Magistrates' court Act (Supreme Court Rules 2000 r.25). This is a court-side deadline but worth diarising because the applicant's own twenty-one day window under r.27(2) is triggered by receipt of the draft. The alternative trigger in (b) is the making of an order of mandamus where the justices have refused to state a case.
