1. Not less than twenty-one days before the hearing
2. RDC 2.12 counts days as clear days. The start day is excluded, and an event-defined end day is excluded too. RDC 2.13 excludes nonbusiness days for periods of five days or less; RDC 2.14 counts them for longer periods. RDC 2.19 uses calendar months.
3. RDC 2.15 protects an act at the Registry when its prescribed period ends on a closed Registry day. It does not automatically extend every payment, service, minimum interval or conditional stay. RDC 2.17 ordinarily requires a stated-date act by 4 p.m., subject to the actual rule and order.

DIFC respondent notice and permission branches concerns file the respondent's notice from actual service of the appellant's notice, receipt of permission, or notification of a combined permission and appeal hearing, with twenty-one days after the applicable rdc44.80 event unless directed otherwise. DIFC appellant notice renewing refused permission concerns file the appellant's notice in the appeal Court from actual receipt of notification refusing permission, with within twenty-one days after receipt if no different direction applies. Those events do not replace actual appeal hearing for this step.
