Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 7 days
- Trigger
- the day the applicant completes service on the respondents under r 41.03.1 and lodgment with the court below under r 41.03.2
- 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.
- Rule 4.02 general power to enlarge or abridge.
- Where service was effected by Registry notification under r 9.04A.1, r 9.04A.3 provides that an affidavit of service is not required. Corrected on verification: the trigger previously read 'serves the respondents OR lodges with the court below'; r 41.03.3 uses 'and', not 'or', so the two acts form a single composite trigger and the safe anchor is the earlier of them. Source: High Court Rules 2004 (Cth) r 41.03.3, Compilation No 30, compilation date 1 March 2026. Contrast r 42.05.5, the appeal equivalent, which does use 'rule 42.05.1, 42.05.2 or 42.05.3'.
