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
- 3 months
- 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.
- Any Counterclaim for revocation must be included in the Statement of defence (Rule 25.1), so this is also the effective deadline for the revocation counterclaim. Where service is effected by an alternative method under Rule 275, the order itself specifies "the period for filing the Statement of defence" (Rule 275.3(c)).
