When is the deadline for qcat application to reopen a proceeding?
The catalogue records a 28 days period from The 'relevant day' for the decision. 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 'relevant day' for the decision
- 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.
- QCAT Act s 61(1)(b): the tribunal may extend the time even after it has passed, subject to s 61(3).
- The period is not in the Act: s 138(2)(b) delegates it to the Rules, so both must be cited. A reopening application cannot be made in relation to a decision that is the subject of an appeal or application for leave to appeal under pt 8, whether or not decided (s 138(5)-(6)). The applicant party must be allowed at least 7 days after the application is made to make written submissions (r 93(2)(a)) and each other party at least 7 days after being given a copy of the application (r 93(2)(b), (3)). The tribunal's decision on the application is final and not challengeable (s 139(5)). Corrected on verification: the researched entry cited r 93(2)(a) for the other parties' submission period; on the text r 93(2)(a) governs the applicant party and r 93(2)(b) the other parties.
