When is the deadline for file respondent's notice?

Respondent choosing a respondent's notice must check Rules of the DIFC Courts (RDC 2014), Part 44 (Amended Appeals), rules 44.79(2) and 44.80. Twenty-one days after the applicable RDC 44.80 event unless directed otherwise. The identified act is to file the respondent's notice. Select the actual permission branch. The Court may direct another period. These three anchors cannot be collapsed into one universal notice event. This guide preserves the source boundary without a calculated final date or paid calculation.

Actual service of the appellant's notice, receipt of permission, or notification of a combined permission and appeal hearing

Select the actual permission branch. The Court may direct another period. These three anchors cannot be collapsed into one universal notice event.

Source guide. Twenty-one days after the applicable RDC 44.80 event unless directed otherwise. Establish actual service of the appellant's notice, receipt of permission, or notification of a combined permission and appeal hearing and the applicable branch. No computed date or paid calculation is available because actual-event and completion qualifications remain unverified.

1. Twenty-one days after the applicable RDC 44.80 event unless directed otherwise
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 appeal bundle filing and simultaneous service concerns file the bundle and simultaneously serve each respondent from actual appeal hearing, with not less than twenty-one days before the hearing. DIFC delayed appeal grounds and skeleton argument concerns file the grounds and skeleton argument from actual filing of the appellant's notice, with within twenty-one days of filing. 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.
