When is the deadline for defence - where no acknowledgment of service is filed?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from Service of the particulars of claim. 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

- Trigger

This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Applies in Gibraltar. Displaced by Supreme Court Rules 2000 r.3(5) where the claim form was served out of the jurisdiction - r.3(5) expressly covers 'filing a defence'. CPR r.15.4(2) makes the general rule subject to rules 3.4(7), 6.12(3), 6.35, 11 and 24.4(4); in Gibraltar the r.6.35 reference is effectively superseded by SCR r.3(5).
