When must a Simple Procedure party send its list and lodge evidence?

Current rule 10.2 requires the List of Evidence Form to reach court and the other parties at least two weeks before the actual hearing. Evidence lodging and the required copies accompany sending the list. This is not a one-week evidence deadline.

Responsible actor. A party lodging documents and other evidence for the actual hearing.

Establish the actual current hearing date.

Establish actual initiation under the current rules edition.

Current ordinary Simple Procedure branch with an established actual anchor, complete court calendar, unaltered period and actual completion. The result requires an open unadjusted endpoint. Closed endpoints, other editions, varied orders and unestablished delivery remain outside this model.

1. Count back two calendar weeks from the actual current hearing date. The source does not say clear days. The supported result requires that unadjusted date to be an actual open court day.
2. A closed backward endpoint needs separate review. No automatic forward adjustment replaces this minimum lead time or the distinct court and other-party completion duties.
3. Send the List of Evidence Form to court and every other party, lodge the evidence and send the required copies at the same time.

Count back two calendar weeks from the actual current hearing date. The source does not say clear days. The supported result requires that unadjusted date to be an actual open court day.

A closed backward endpoint needs separate review. No automatic forward adjustment replaces this minimum lead time or the distinct court and other-party completion duties.

Fictitious example

Fictional established claim and source branch. The actual current response or hearing anchor is Thursday, October 15, 2026. The actual court calendar and completion route are established except any explicit refusal boundary.

Fictitious established facts. These examples do not establish eligibility, effective service, relief or a direction.

Source condition 1

The actual claim was initiated on or after May 31, 2023 and the current Simple Procedure Rules apply. This is not an ordinary cause or national personal injury proceeding.

Source condition 2

I checked the actual current Timetable and every sheriff order. No varied deadline, replacement timetable, pause, continuation or other order changes the selected ordinary period.

Source condition 3

The source says at least two calendar days or two calendar weeks before the actual anchor. It does not use clear days. No additional clear day or automatic working-day count is imported.

Source condition 4

I established the actual sheriff court and its complete relevant public holidays, court holidays and full-day closures. The supported result requires the unadjusted backward endpoint to be an actual open court day.

Source condition 5

Rule 6.3 distinguishes required arrival from posting or transmission. The actual method must complete the required receipt and sending in time. The calculator does not infer delivery from posting.

Source condition 6

No automatic closed-day adjustment is made for this minimum backward lead time. Rule 6.3(3) and any distinct court and other-party completion require separate review if the endpoint is closed.

Source condition 7

The List of Evidence Form identifies the actual documents and other evidence. It goes to the court and every other party at least two weeks before the actual hearing.

Source condition 8

At the same time as sending the list, I must lodge the documents and other evidence with court and send copies of documents and, if possible, other evidence to the other parties. A separate partial filing does not complete that duty.

Source condition 9

No practical-difficulty permission under rule 10.2(5)-(6) replaces the ordinary evidence lodging. The possibility of bringing later evidence under rule 10.3 does not extend this ordinary list and lodging period.
