When is the deadline for respondent's written argument objecting to permission to appeal (general rule)?

Respondent electing to object to permission must check ADGM Court Procedure Rules 2016, Part 25, rule 207(1)(c). Within twenty-one days in the general branch. The identified act is to file and serve written argument on applicant and other parties. Case management and interim objections use seven days, and judicial-review permission refusals ten. Failure prevents participation and progress notices. This guide preserves the source boundary without a calculated final date or paid calculation.

Responsible actor. Respondent electing to object to permission.

Actual service of both the application notice and supporting argument

Case management and interim objections use seven days, and judicial-review permission refusals ten. Failure prevents participation and progress notices.

Source guide. Within twenty-one days in the general branch. Establish actual service of both the application notice and supporting argument and the applicable branch. No computed date or paid calculation is available because actual-event and completion qualifications remain unverified.

1. Within twenty-one days in the general branch
2. ADGM Rule 6 counts days as clear days, excluding the start and an event-defined end. For periods of five days or less, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays do not count. Actual month periods and operative events need their own source review.
3. Current Rule 7(5), as amended on October 17, 2025, concerns a specified act whose period ends on a closed registry day, subject to the relevant practice direction. The amendment removed the old restriction to acts at the registry. Minimum notice, status and agreed caps remain distinct; no automatic final date is shown.

Applicable edition and transition

The maintained official ADGM index links the consolidated Rules and Amendment No. 1 of 2025, reissued October 17, 2025. Current division, Fast Track allocation, practice directions and orders remain material. This guide does not assume a historical matter uses that edition.

• Source guide. Within twenty-one days in the general branch. Establish actual service of both the application notice and supporting argument and the applicable branch. No computed date or paid calculation is available because actual-event and completion qualifications remain unverified.
• ADGM renewed permission application after refusal concerns file and serve a further application to the Court of Appeal from actual date of refusal, with within seven days. ADGM notice after permission to appeal concerns file and serve the notice of appeal from actual permission order, with within seven days. ADGM ordinary permission to appeal concerns file and serve the application notice and supporting argument from actual order or judgment, using the later date if both differ, with within twenty-one days after the event. Those events do not replace actual service of both the application notice and supporting argument for this step.
