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
- 42 days
- Trigger
- Service of the originating process out of Australia, other than service in New Zealand under Part 2 of the Trans-Tasman Proceedings Act 2010 (Cth)
- 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.
- Unless the Court otherwise orders.
- Corrected on verification: the entry previously read as a residual 'in any other case, not less than 42 days after service' under r 8.04(e) of the revoked 2015 Rules. Rule 8.04 was substituted by S.R. No. 127/2025 and there is no longer a residual limb: r 8.04(b) of the Supreme Court (General Civil Procedure) Rules 2025 now applies 42 days to service out of Australia generally, subject to the Trans-Tasman limb in r 8.04(c), and the period is no longer expressed as a minimum. This limb now also governs service in Papua New Guinea.
