When is a further eviction notice required after incomplete execution?

Responsible actor. The person arranging a further prescribed eviction notice.
Actual intended further execution date after incomplete execution.
Establish what happened on the earlier execution date. This branch concerns a further attempt after full execution did not occur as specified, rather than replacing the first-notice rule in advance.

CPR 83.8A(2)(a)–(b), (3)–(6)How does this provision count time?
- Exclude both further delivery and further execution dates. Seven intervening calendar dates satisfy the ordinary interval; the CPR five-day short-period exclusion does not apply.
- A closed court office does not itself postpone delivery at the premises. The prescribed notice method and an actual court direction remain material.

The 7 intervening calendar dates run from Tuesday, November 24, 2026 through Monday, November 30, 2026. Exclude notice day and event day. Latest ordinary notice is Monday, November 23, 2026. Additional fictitious established facts. Prior incomplete eviction attempt. Sunday, November 1, 2026. Fictitious individually specified facts. The listed context makes the actual branch, actors, event history and completion facts explicit. Additional dates below are stated hypothetical facts rather than inferred client records.

| Example 2. Closed-day boundary | The person arranging a further prescribed eviction notice.

Try these dates in the calculatorWhich conditions and exceptions apply?
- Identified actor and operative event
- Establish what happened on the earlier execution date. This branch concerns a further attempt after full execution did not occur as specified, rather than replacing the first-notice rule in advance.
- Provision-specific counting and closure
- Exclude both further delivery and further execution dates. Seven intervening calendar dates satisfy the ordinary interval; the CPR five-day short-period exclusion does not apply. A closed court office does not itself postpone delivery at the premises. The prescribed notice method and an actual court direction remain material.
- Required completion and separate procedural route
- Keep the history of earlier notices and execution attempts. An assumed failed attempt is not enough to select the shorter seven-day branch.
- Establish what happened on the earlier execution date. This branch concerns a further attempt after full execution did not occur as specified, rather than replacing the first-notice rule in advance.
- The first attempt ordinarily uses fourteen days. The further-attempt provision uses seven days and can apply again after a later incomplete attempt.

Questions about this procedure
When is a further eviction notice required after incomplete execution?
Can seven days be used for the first possession execution notice?
The first notice is governed by paragraph (2)(a), ordinarily fourteen days. Seven days belongs to the further-execution branch in paragraph (2)(b).
CPR 83.8A(2)(a)–(b)What must happen before selecting the further-notice branch?
Full execution must not have taken place on or by the date or days specified in the relevant earlier notice. Retain that actual attempt history.
CPR 83.8A(2)(b)Do weekends count in the ordinary seven-day further notice?
Yes as intervening dates. CPR 2.8(4) excludes the specified nonbusiness dates only for periods of five days or less.
CPR 83.8A(2)(b); 2.8(4)Can another further notice be necessary after a second incomplete attempt?
Paragraph (2)(b) also refers to the day or days specified in further notices. Check whether full execution actually occurred before selecting a later attempt.
CPR 83.8A(2)(b)Does the further notice use different occupier addressees?
Paragraph (3) applies to the first and further notices. Each must address the specified persons and any other occupiers in the prescribed form.
CPR 83.8A(3)Does a court variation of the first notice automatically define every later notice?
Use the terms of the actual direction. Paragraph (5) permits variation or dispensation; its effect on a particular further notice cannot be presumed.
