When must the appellant file and serve the Appeal Questionnaire?
PD52C 23 requires the appellant to complete, file and serve the Appeal Questionnaire within 14 days after the date of the listing-window notification letter.
Responsible actor. Appellant.
The questionnaire follows the listing-window letter. The respondent’s seven-day disagreement period follows actual questionnaire service.
PD52C 1 defines it by the letter’s date, not a later receipt date.
The letter’s date is the defined listing-window notification event. Receipt of a later copy or a later fixed hearing date does not replace that starting date.
PD52C 1,21,23How does this provision count time?
- PD52C 23 requires the appellant to complete, file and serve the Appeal Questionnaire within 14 days after the date of the listing-window notification letter.
- Paragraph 23 places that duty on the appellant.
- Complete and file the questionnaire, then serve the respondent. Preserve the letter and service record because a respondent’s time-estimate objection chains from questionnaire service.
For PD52C 1,21,23, exclude the established starting day and count the next 14 calendar days. CPR 2.8(3)(b) does not exclude an additional fixed compliance day. This is the ordinary fixed-after branch, not a minimum interval between two specified events.
The PD52C 1,21,23 step combines court filing with interparty service or notification. An ordinary open endpoint can be shared. A closed endpoint requires separate act-specific dates, so the qualified calculator refuses one automatic answer.
PD52C 1,21,23What do independently checked examples show?
Fictitious example
The listing-window notification letter is dated October 08. No specific timetable direction displaces questionnaire filing and service. The letter’s date is the defined listing-window notification event. Receipt of a later copy or a later fixed hearing date does not replace that starting date.
| Step | What is counted | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Example 1. Ordinary established facts | The listing-window notification letter is dated October 08. No specific timetable direction displaces questionnaire filing and service. The letter’s date is the defined listing-window notification event. Receipt of a later copy or a later fixed hearing date does not replace that starting date. Exactly 14 counted calendar dates follow the established event; the starting date is excluded. | Thursday, October 22, 2026 |
| Example 2. Closed-day boundary | The listing-window notification letter is dated October 10. No specific timetable direction displaces questionnaire filing and service. For this calendar counterexample the case and event branch are otherwise established. The letter’s date is the defined listing-window notification event. Receipt of a later copy or a later fixed hearing date does not replace that starting date. Exactly 14 counted calendar dates follow the established event; the starting date is excluded. | The closed-day filing extension does not establish the accompanying service deadline. Establish the separate filing and service dates. |
| Example 3. Material procedural branch | The listing-window letter is dated Monday, August 17, 2026 but arrives later. Its date, rather than receipt, starts the questionnaire timetable. The letter’s date is the defined listing-window notification event. Receipt of a later copy or a later fixed hearing date does not replace that starting date. This example establishes the stated operative branch independently of the calendar arithmetic. Exactly 14 counted calendar dates follow the established event; the starting date is excluded. | The closed-day filing extension does not establish the accompanying service deadline. Establish the separate filing and service dates. |
Fictitious established facts. These examples do not establish eligibility, effective service, relief or a direction.
