NSW small claim served on me: how long do I have to respond?

NSW Courts says a defendant generally has 28 days from service of a Statement of Claim to respond. If you do not respond in time, judgment may be entered against you. If you dispute the claim, you normally need to file a defence. Official source: NSW Courts and Tribunals. Guide: https://getinstantlaw.com/small-claims/respond-to-court-summons
