How does this provision count time?

  1. File promptly and in any event no later than three months after the grounds first arose
  2. File the claim form with the Administrative Court, identifying the challenged act, grounds, remedies and interested parties.
  3. Promptness can require filing sooner than the outer three months. Shorter statutory limits and the special planning and procurement branches must be considered.

File promptly and in any event no later than three months after the grounds first arose. For a procedural period governed by CPR 2.8, preserve clear-day counting and its specific five-days-or-less exclusions. A court-office closure rule concerns completing an act at court and is not a universal extension of every statutory limit.

For general judicial review filing, establish the actual listing or operative service event, required recipients, court-office availability, permitted delivery and any specific court direction. A warned hearing date and an actual fee notice remain controlling when the source uses them.
