Is proof of service required on a delay?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only if the delay is longer than 60 days
• D. Not required for delays shorter than 10 days

Answer: (D)

When a delay is granted, proof of service is not required for a short delay. The key idea is that very brief postponements—specifically delays under ten days—are treated as inconsequential enough that formal service proof isn’t needed to validate the extension. This avoids adding needless paperwork for minor timing changes. If the delay grows beyond ten days, then proof of service is normally required to show that notice was provided and the extended deadline is legitimate. So the correct takeaway is that proof of service isn’t needed for delays shorter than ten days.
