Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 1 year
- Trigger
- The day the writ or originating motion is filed
- 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 5.12(2)-(3): the Court may by order extend the period of validity for such period from the day of the order as it directs, being not more than one year from that day, before or after expiry. Do not compute any renewal.
- This is a validity period for service, not an act to be done at the court office, so no r 3.01(5) rollover applies. Corrected on verification: the entry previously cited the Supreme Court (General Civil Procedure) Rules 2015 (Vic), which was revoked on sunset on 10 September 2025. The provision is reproduced without relevant change in the Supreme Court (General Civil Procedure) Rules 2025 (Vic) S.R. No. 85/2025 (authorised version 003 as at 1 January 2026), and the citation has been restated to that instrument.
