When is the deadline for request to the decision-maker for a statement of reasons for a reviewable decision?
The catalogue records a 28 days period from The day the document setting out the decision was given to the person. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 28 days
- Trigger
- The day the document setting out the decision was given to the person
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- No extension power. A late request is not void, but it entitles the decision-maker to refuse it.
- A request made outside this period may still be answered. The consequence of lateness is a discretionary refusal power, not invalidity. Where the decision was not set out in a document given to the person, a 'reasonable time' test applies with no fixed period. Section 268 is disapplied for s 501 and s 501CA(4) decisions relating to a person in the migration zone.
