When is the deadline for supreme court - apply to set aside a judgment obtained in a party's absence at trial?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from The trial at which the party was absent. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 14 days
- Trigger
- The trial at which the party was absent
- 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.
- SCR r 3.02(1)-(2), which permits extension before or after the time expires, and r 3.02(3) which permits extension by consent without an order. No narrower test is prescribed by r 49.02 itself.
- Added on verification: a short relief-from-judgment deadline the researcher omitted. Contrast r 21.07, under which the Court may set aside a judgment entered in default of appearance or pleading with no time limit at all, and r 7A.12(3), which fixes 12 months for a default judgment following Hague Convention service abroad. The application is made by summons filed in the Registry, so r 3.01(5) applies; SCR r 3.04(1) excludes 24 December to 9 January. Verified against the Supreme Court Rules 1987 (NT) as in force at 23 June 2025 (legislation.nt.gov.au).
