This is a self-check calculation of the sourced base period, not a final filing instruction. Western Australian excluded days and Court registry closure dates are not bundled. Interpretation Act 1984 section 61 may move an expiry to the next non-excluded day. Check the current registry calendar before applying that rollover. Check the cited rule, the correct factual branch, every order and any electronic-filing cut-off.
