Court Procedures Rules 2006 (ACT) r 5405 (1) (a) (i) [R73, effective August 1, 2026]How does this provision count time?
- File notice of appeal and case summary
- Court of Appeal notice after leave uses 7 days after leave, absent time set with leave. 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 and case summary. Apply the relevant Canberra completion-day rule in Legislation Act section 151A and Registry closures in rule 6300.
