When is the deadline for qcat notice of hearing for a minor debt claim?
The catalogue records a 7 days period from The hearing of the proceeding (counted backwards). 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
- 7 days
- Trigger
- The hearing of the proceeding (counted backwards)
- 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) (power to shorten as well as extend).
- Counted backwards: Acts Interpretation Act 1954 (Qld) s 38(3) moves the earliest day to the next EARLIER non-excluded day; do not roll forward. Corrected on verification: the researched entry presented r 77 as a general QCAT notice-of-hearing rule and omitted subrule (1). The rule heading is 'When notice of hearing for minor debt claim given' and r 77(1) confines it to proceedings for a minor debt claim in which a response has been filed. Applying the 7 days to other QCAT proceedings would be wrong. Source: Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal Rules 2009 (Qld) r 77, legislation.qld.gov.au current reprint.
