Entered order, not default judgment; Ordinary rule 1613(2)(b) branch; Rule 1613(4) special at-any-time circumstances separately screened. Rule 1613(3) prohibits extension of the ordinary 14 day period despite rule 6351. The specified at-any-time exceptions and other court powers remain separate.
Court Procedures Rules 2006 (ACT) r 1613 (2) (b) [R73, effective August 1, 2026]How does this provision count time?
- Make the ordinary application to amend or set aside
- Setting aside an ordinary order uses 14 days after entry. 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.
- Make the ordinary application to amend or set aside. 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.
- The ordinary 14 day period cannot be extended under rule 1613(3). Rule 1613(4) expressly preserves listed at-any-time grounds; rule 1613(7) preserves other powers.
