How does this provision count time?

  1. Establish the ordinary order-validity period and any renewal
  2. Rule 2052(2) keeps the covered order in force for one year after its making day, unless the order states an earlier end. Retain that actual earlier end and any actual renewal separately.
  3. The output is the source validity or status boundary. It does not compute a renewal filing date or extend validity for Registry closure. The qualified ordinary anniversary endpoint must be a nonclosed Canberra day. February 29 anniversary cases and closed-boundary completion interactions refuse separately.
  4. Rule 2052 allows actual renewals of at most 1 year at a time. A renewal application must be made before the existing order ends. A stated earlier expiry and rule 2222 sale postponement need their own actual facts.

Rule 2052(2) keeps the covered order in force for one year after its making day, unless the order states an earlier end. Retain that actual earlier end and any actual renewal separately.
