Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 28 days
- Trigger
- the day the petition is filed
- 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 rule contains its own extension power: 'or such further time as the Court or a Justice allows'. General enlargement power under r 4.02. Note the contrast with the s 355(e) filing period, which cannot be extended: the service period can be.
- Where the person to be served has filed a notice under r 30.03.1 stating an address for service, service is at that address; otherwise service must be personal (rr 30.04.2 and 30.04.3). An address for service under r 30.03.2 must be in the State or Territory in which the election was held.
