When must the selected statutory appeal, leave application or authenticated case reach the Court of Session?

Chapter 41 uses different periods for different acts. The supported default leave and ordinary appeal branches use 42 days. A qualifying late leave grant uses 7 days. Lodging an authenticated stated case ordinarily uses 28 days from actual receipt. Select the exact branch and its actual event. A request to the tribunal to state a case is a separate step.

Responsible actor. Party using the competent statutory appeal or stated-case lodging route.

Establish the exact actual event required by the selected Chapter41 branch.

The selected Court of Session route is competent. The enabling enactment supplies no different period. An appeal by stated case and an appeal in Form 41.25 use different provisions.

Only the confirmed ordinary source branch is calculated. The actual court, event, applicable edition, completion process and any different period must be established.

1. Exclude the actual event day and apply the fixed period for the selected branch.
2. The express court provision moves a closed-day endpoint to the next confirmed working day. Supply every relevant court closure. National bank holidays alone do not establish court closure.
3. Complete the actual required act, with its supporting documents, copies and cutoff.

Exclude the actual event day. Count the exact fixed calendar-day period for the selected branch.

The express court provision moves a closed-day endpoint to the next confirmed working day. Supply every relevant court closure. National bank holidays alone do not establish court closure.

Source condition 1

The selected Court of Session route is competent. The enabling enactment supplies no different period. An appeal by stated case and an appeal in Form 41.25 use different provisions.

Source condition 2

I established the selected actual intimation, receipt or leave event. Issuing a decision, posting it and receiving unrelated correspondence do not replace that event.

Source condition 3

For an application for leave, RCS 41.2(2) permits the application to this court. An ordinary tribunal refusal does not restart the original decision-intimation or later-reasons period.

Source condition 4

For the ordinary appeal decision or later-reasons branches, RCS 41.26(2) and (3) do not apply. For a permission-event branch, the exact listed enactment or timely-application facts apply. Every required permission and condition is established.

Source condition 5

If the listed-tribunal permission branch is selected, leave was granted under Employment Tribunals Act 1996 s 37, Social Security Act 1998 s 15, or Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 s 13. The actual grant was intimated to the appellant.

Source condition 6

For the seven-day late-leave branch, the application to the court was made within RCS 41.26(1)(b) and that period expired before actual leave was granted. An ordinary refusal or a later application does not qualify.

Source condition 7

For a stated case, the actual authenticated case or the specific RCS 41.15(2) abandonment intimation has occurred. Earlier case requests, drafts and notices of intention are separate duties.

Source condition 8

No special statutory period, extension, sist, revised order or historical transition changes the selected ordinary period.

Source condition 9

I checked the actual Office of Court calendar and the rolls. No published notice specifies another completion date under RCS 1.3(7).
