When must an appellant confirm pursuing adjourned permission issues?
When remaining permission issues are adjourned to the appeal hearing, PD52C 18(2) requires the appellant to notify the court and respondent in writing within 14 days after the order whether those issues will be pursued.
Responsible actor. Appellant with partial permission.
This notification follows the limited-permission order. It is separate from a respondent’s later disagreement with an Appeal Questionnaire time estimate.
No. Paragraph 18(2) applies when remaining permission issues are adjourned under 18(1)(b).
The court must have granted permission on some issues and adjourned the remaining application. A final refusal of remaining issues is the different paragraph 18(1)(a) branch.
PD52C 18How does this provision count time?
- When remaining permission issues are adjourned to the appeal hearing, PD52C 18(2) requires the appellant to notify the court and respondent in writing within 14 days after the order whether those issues will be pursued.
- Both the court and the respondent must be informed whether the application will be pursued.
- Inform both court and respondent in writing. If pursuing the application, include an allowance for it in the parties’ appeal-hearing time estimate.
For PD52C 18, 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 18 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 18What do independently checked examples show?
Fictitious example
An October 08 order adjourns remaining permission issues to the appeal hearing. The appellant must tell the court and respondent whether those issues will be pursued. The court must have granted permission on some issues and adjourned the remaining application. A final refusal of remaining issues is the different paragraph 18(1)(a) branch.
| Step | What is counted | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Example 1. Ordinary established facts | An October 08 order adjourns remaining permission issues to the appeal hearing. The appellant must tell the court and respondent whether those issues will be pursued. The court must have granted permission on some issues and adjourned the remaining application. A final refusal of remaining issues is the different paragraph 18(1)(a) branch. Exactly 14 counted calendar dates follow the established event; the starting date is excluded. | Thursday, October 22, 2026 |
| Example 2. Closed-day boundary | An October 10 order adjourns remaining permission issues to the appeal hearing. The appellant must tell the court and respondent whether those issues will be pursued. For this calendar counterexample the case and event branch are otherwise established. The court must have granted permission on some issues and adjourned the remaining application. A final refusal of remaining issues is the different paragraph 18(1)(a) branch. 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 Monday, August 17, 2026 limited-permission order adjourns remaining issues to the appeal hearing rather than refusing them. The appellant must tell the court and respondent whether it will pursue them. The court must have granted permission on some issues and adjourned the remaining application. A final refusal of remaining issues is the different paragraph 18(1)(a) branch. 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.
