    Quote
    The deadline for lodging our grounds for resisting the claim was 35 days from 18 October, the date when the court gave permission for the judicial review, subject to any extension agreed between the parties or by the court. We applied to the court for an extension of the time in this case and this was granted. We sent our grounds to the court on Monday 4 December.
