Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 21 days
- Trigger
- The date the respondent is served with the appeal notice
- 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.
- The Court may order an extension of the 21 days (r 53(6) refers to "any extension of that period ordered by the Court").
- Note the contrast with the Court of Appeal, where the equivalent respondent's period is only 7 days. Consequence of silence under r 53(6): the respondent is not entitled to take part or be heard and is not a party to the appeal. Any cross appeal must be included in the Form 8 (r 53(3)).
