When is the deadline for lodge a preliminary objection?
The catalogue records a 1 month period from Service of the Statement of claim on the defendant. 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
- 1 month
- Trigger
- Service of the Statement of claim on the defendant
- 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.
- Hard jurisdictional gateway. Rule 19.7: failure to lodge within the period "shall be treated as a submission to the jurisdiction and competence of the Court and the competence of the division chosen by the claimant". Rule 19.6: lodging a Preliminary objection does not extend the Rule 23 three-month period for the Statement of defence unless the judge-rapporteur orders otherwise
