Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 35 days
- Trigger
- The date of the migration decision, as defined in s 477(3) and applied by s 486A(3)
- 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.
- The High Court may extend under s 486A(2) if satisfied it is necessary in the interests of the administration of justice, on a written application specifying why.
- This statutory 35-day limit prevails over the general 6-month limit for certiorari in High Court Rules 2004 (Cth) r 25.02.2, which is expressly subject to any other law requiring a shorter period. Sections 486A(4) and (5) provide that time runs despite defective notification and irrespective of the validity of the decision. The High Court may remit under s 476B, subject to the constraints in that section.
