Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 60 days
- Trigger
- Date of the judgment of the Federal Court of Appeal appealed from
- 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 Supreme Court, or a judge of it, may extend the time under Supreme Court Act s 59, before or after expiry.
- Included because it is the next step after a Federal Court of Appeal judgment and is routinely mis-diarised against the Federal Courts calendar. The month of JULY only is excluded by s 58(2) - this is narrower than the July AND August exclusion in Federal Courts Act s 27(2)(b), and the two must not be conflated. Runs from the DATE OF THE JUDGMENT, not from receipt or from the reasons. Under Federal Courts Rules r 357(1), where a Federal Court of Appeal judgment is delivered from the bench, a motion for leave under Supreme Court Act s 37.1 may be made at the time the judgment is delivered without prior notice. Section 58 read on verification and both the 60 day period and the July-only exclusion confirmed.
