A claim form is served without particulars of claim. By when must the particulars of claim be served?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Within 14 days after service of the claim form, and no later than the last day for serving the claim form
- Step 1: CPR 7.4 deals with particulars served separately from the claim form.
- Step 2: They must be served within 14 days after service of the claim form, but not later than the latest time for serving the claim form.
Answer
Within 14 days after service of the claim form, and no later than the last day for serving the claim form.
Why not the others: 28 days is the longer time for a defence after an acknowledgment of service; seven days has no basis; a deadline does apply.
