Jurisdiction

Area

Deadline

Current ordinary civil branch with established actual events, source conditions, office calendar and completion. An open unadjusted endpoint is required. Extensions, closed endpoints and separate later issue or hearing service duties need their own source facts.

RSC Order 86A rules 13(1)-(4),14Binding

Intending civil appellant. Lodge for issue the notice of appeal and attested lower-court order, with the required judgment or transcript materials.

Appeal facts

Intending civil appellant. Lodge for issue the notice of appeal and attested lower-court order, with the required judgment or transcript materials. Use the main date field for actual perfection of the lower-court order.

Applicable source branch

Court of Appeal Office, Dublin

This calculation assumes:

The current ordinary civil appeal rules apply. No contrary enactment, European Union instrument, special statutory appeal period, extension, abridgment or individual court direction changes this period.
I established the actual source event from the court record. Judgment delivery, pronouncement, perfection, filing, issue and effective service are distinct events.
I checked the actual required office and its complete relevant full-day closures. The result requires the unadjusted endpoint to be an actual open weekday. No national bank-holiday approximation or independent service extension is assumed.
I checked the permitted completion method, actual office hours, documents, copies and applicable fees. Posting, an attempted upload or ordinary email alone does not establish valid lodgment or effective service.
This is the ordinary civil appeal lodgment under rule 13. Any leave has already been established and no order granting leave fixes a different issue or service period.
Rule 14 normally requires service within seven days after actual issue. That separate period does not run from perfection or this latest lodgment date. Record the actual issue before calculating it.

Was the office closed on any day in this period? (optional)
