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.

Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.

  • 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.
