When is the deadline for supreme court - validity of writ for service?
The catalogue records a 12 months period from Date of issue of the writ. 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
- 12 months
- Trigger
- Date of issue of the writ
- 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.
- O 7 r 1(2): the Court may extend the validity of the writ for periods not exceeding 12 months at a time, on application made before the day the writ would otherwise expire or such later day as the Court may allow.
- COUNT MODE IS UNUSUAL AND DELIBERATE. The rule says "beginning with the date of its issue", which engages Interpretation Act 1984 (WA) s 61(1)(a): "where a period of time is expressed to begin at, on, or with a specified day, that day shall be included in the period". So the issue day COUNTS, unlike almost every other period in this system. A writ issued on 1 March expires at the end of 28 February the following year, not 1 March.
