The permission objection guide uses the retained current 2024 Rules and maintained official practice directions, including the September 2026 updates. Rule 63 separately preserves qualifying proceedings begun or filed before December 2, 2024 unless otherwise directed. Non-portal filing alone does not establish that transition.

  3. Failing to file and serve the objection prevents participation and progress notification; each respondent needs its own service facts.

For permission objection, retain the source’s exact event and unit. Rule 7 distinguishes electronic filing from actual tracked delivery, while Rule 8 separates portal email-alert service during office hours from its next-business-day treatment outside those hours. File the notice of objection within 28 days after service.

For permission objection, Rule 6(4)(a) carries an act done at the Registry to the next open day when its last day is closed. Rule 6(4)(b) uses midnight in the place where the person acts. These provisions do not make every hearing countback or service event a generic London working-day calculation.
