When is the deadline for service of district court defence?

The catalogue records a 28 days period from The later of the expiry of the time limited for acknowledging service and service of the statement of claim. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.

Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.

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
28 days
Trigger
The later of the expiry of the time limited for acknowledging service and service of the statement of claim

  • Amended to 28 days by L.N. 217 of 2000; further amended by L.N. 153 of 2008. Unlike the High Court, there is no Summer Vacation exclusion, so the District Court defence date is not moved by August.
