This is a self-check calculation of the sourced base period, not a final filing instruction. New South Wales public and bank holidays are not bundled. Section 36 can move the last day to the first following non-weekend, non-holiday day. Check the current Court registry calendar before applying that rollover. Check the cited rule, the correct factual branch, every order and any electronic-filing cut-off.

Deadline Engine calculates dates from encoded procedural rules. It is software, not legal advice, and no output is approved for your matter. Check the jurisdiction, inputs, current cited rule, facts and any order or agreement before recording or using the date. Responsibility for the operative deadline and diary remains with you.
