Court Procedures Rules 2006 (ACT) r 5103 (d) [R73, effective August 1, 2026]How does this provision count time?
- File the notice of appeal
- Supreme Court notice of appeal uses 28 days after order. 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 the 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.
- Any further time in rule 5103(d) requires an application filed before the ordinary 28 day period ends; separate out-of-time routes require their own actual facts.
