Court Procedures Rules 2006 (ACT) r 5014 (1) (b) [R73, effective August 1, 2026]How does this provision count time?
- File notice of appeal
- Magistrates Court registrar appeal uses 5 days after decision. Exclude the triggering day. Rule 6350 omits closed Registry days for a period of five days or less and omits December 25 through January 1 from the relevant action period. A before-appointment interval excludes both the act day and appointment day under Legislation Act section 151.
- File notice of appeal. Apply the relevant Canberra completion-day rule in Legislation Act section 151A and Registry closures in rule 6300. This model refuses a closed backward completion endpoint instead of moving it beyond the required interval. Actual additional Registry closures must be retained.
- Rule 5014 permits further time with the required affidavit, including after expiry under Legislation Act 151 C.
