When is the deadline for service of defence?
The catalogue records a 42 days period from Later of the time limited for appearing and service of the statement 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
- Period
- 42 days
- Trigger
- Later of the time limited for appearing and service of the statement of claim
- 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.
- The period of 6 weeks was substituted for the former period by SR 2009/345 with effect from 6 January 2010. This is a 'whichever is the later' rule requiring two candidate dates to be computed. Subject to the Long Vacation exclusion in Order 3 rule 3.
