When is the deadline for automatic stay where a claim is neither defended nor admitted?
The catalogue records a 6 months period from End of the period for filing a defence specified in CPR r.15.4. 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
- 6 months
- Trigger
- End of the period for filing a defence specified in CPR r.15.4
- 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 in Gibraltar unmodified. This is a self-executing stay, not a discretionary sanction, and is a common trap in dormant claims. The stay can be lifted on application under Part 23 but the application 'must include an explanation for the delay' (CPR r.15.11(4)). Worth diarising as a positive claimant-side reminder six months after the defence deadline.
