When is the deadline for deemed date of service of a claim form?
The catalogue records a 2 days period from Completion of the relevant step under CPR r.7.5(1) - but ONLY where the claim form was served by personal service or by a judge-ordered alternative method; where it was served by registered post, fax or other electronic communication, SCR 2000 r.3(2) governs deemed service instead.
