When is the deadline for notice of appeal to the district court from a magistrates court?
The catalogue records a 28 days period from The date of the decision appealed from. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
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
- 28 days
- Trigger
- The date of the decision appealed from
- 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.
- r 748 applies 'with necessary changes', so the discretion to order otherwise is exercisable by the District Court; UCPR r 7(1) also applies.
- Chapter 18 pt 3 governs appeals to a court other than the Court of Appeal. r 783 requires the notice to be filed with the registrar of the District Court, with a copy filed as soon as practicable in the Magistrates Court registry from which the appeal is brought. The 28-day period is not restated in pt 3; it is picked up from pt 1 by r 785(1), so both rules must be cited.
