When is the deadline for application to the federal court for review under the access to information act (complainant)?
The catalogue records a 30 working-days period from The day on which the head of the government institution receives the Information Commissioner's report under s 37(2). 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
- 30 working-days
- Trigger
- The day on which the head of the government institution receives the Information Commissioner's report under s 37(2)
- 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.
- No extension power appears in s 41. Federal Courts Rules r 8 does not reach a statutory period.
- The head of the institution is deemed to receive the report on the fifth business day after the date of the report (s 41(6)), so the practical trigger is a deemed date rather than an actual one. The head of the institution has an equivalent 30 business day right of review (s 41(2)), and a third party or the Privacy Commissioner has 10 business days after expiry of the s 41(1) period (ss 41(3), (4)). Section 41 and the s 3 definition of "business day" both read in full on verification.
