When is the deadline for application to the high court for a writ of certiorari?
The catalogue records a 6 months period from The day the decision sought to be quashed was made. 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
- 6 months
- Trigger
- The day the decision sought to be quashed was made
- 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.
- Time may be enlarged or abridged under r 4.02, whether before or after expiry.
- For migration decisions this general 6-month period is displaced by paragraph (b): Migration Act 1958 (Cth) s 486A(1) requires the application within 35 days of the date of the migration decision. Do not apply the 6 months to a migration matter. Months are computed under Acts Interpretation Act 1901 (Cth) s 2G(2): the period ends immediately before the corresponding day of the sixth later calendar month, or at the end of that month if there is no corresponding day.
