Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 180 days
- Trigger
- The date the appeal or application for leave to appeal is placed on the inactive appeal list
- 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.
- Reinstatement is available only if a justice orders otherwise: r 51(2), and Court of Appeal Act s 23(2) permits reinstatement in accordance with the rules. Treat reinstatement as exceptional and never compute it.
- TERMINAL AND EFFECTIVELY JURISDICTIONAL. Dismissal is automatic by operation of the rule - no application by a respondent is needed and no order is required. The default position under r 51(2) is that the appeal MAY NOT BE REINSTATED. Under r 49(2), an application for leave to appeal relating to an appeal on the inactive list is deemed to be on the list for the same period, so both fall together.
