When is the deadline for plaintiff's witness statements and draft chronology (high court)?
The catalogue records a 25 working-days period from Date of service of the defendant's pleading (or last responding pleading) per r 7.4(3)(a)(i) or (ii); but where any interlocutory application under r 7.4(3) has to be determined, the 25 working days run from the date of the last decision on an interlocutory application (r 7.4(9)), unless a Judge directs otherwise.
