When is the deadline for paying party's points of dispute on a claim for costs?
The catalogue records a 21 days period from the day on which the claim for costs is served. 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

Calculation basis and source
- Period

- Counting

This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- r 6(1). PD 9.31: "Any request for an extension of time to file points of dispute or replies must be made within the relevant time period or via the portal". PD 9.32 allows a Registrar-fixed alternative period.
- First-day-inclusive on the express words "beginning with the day on which". SANCTION: PD 9.32 - "Where the paying party does not file points of dispute within 21 days of being served with the claim for costs and bill of costs (or within such other period as may be fixed by the Registrar), the receiving party may apply for a default costs certificate", which will normally certify all the costs claimed. A default certificate may be set aside under PD 9.33 if the paying party acted promptly and there is good reason.
