When is the deadline for dismissal where no summons for directions issued two months after close of pleadings?
The catalogue records a 2 months period from Expiry of the time limited for filing pleadings. 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
- 2 months
- Trigger
- Expiry of the time limited for filing pleadings
- 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.
- Two-stage: a 2-month dormancy trigger, then a separate 28-day notice period before the Court may dismiss of its own motion. Rules 6/26(14) to (16) allow a party to apply by summons, supported by affidavit, for the action to be reinstated, and the Court may reinstate on terms as to costs including security for costs.
