  • Rule 4.02 general power to enlarge or abridge, before or after expiry. Rule 25.05.1(b) requires the supporting affidavit to explain any failure to file within an applicable time limit.
  • 'month' means calendar month (r 1.06). No corresponding time limit is prescribed by Part 25 for prohibition, habeas corpus or quo warranto; r 25.02 is confined by its terms to mandamus and certiorari. That does not mean an unlimited period for the other writs, because delay remains discretionarily relevant, but there is no encoded rule period to compute. Corrected on verification: the shorter-period override in para (b) is not hypothetical and is now encoded separately. See au_hca_migration_decision_judicial_review, Migration Act 1958 (Cth) s 486A(1), which imposes 35 days from the date of the migration decision on any application to the High Court for a remedy in its original jurisdiction in relation to a migration decision. Never quote the 6 month figure in a migration matter.
