When is the deadline for third party application to the federal court for review of a decision to disclose (access to information act)?
The catalogue records a 20 days period from The day on which the head of the government institution gives the third party notice under paragraph 28(1)(b) of a decision to disclose the record or part of it. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.

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.

Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 20 days
- Trigger
- The day on which the head of the government institution gives the third party notice under paragraph 28(1)(b) of a decision to disclose the record or part of it
- 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 44. Federal Courts Rules r 8 does not reach a statutory period.
- Added on verification: this reverse-onus limb is a substantial part of Access to Information litigation in the Federal Court and the researched catalogue recorded only the complainant's review under s 41(1). Critically, s 44(1) is expressed in plain DAYS, not the 30 business days used in s 41(1), so the bespoke s 3 "business day" definition does not apply to it and the two provisions must not share a counting mode. The head of the institution must notify the requester of the application (s 44(2)), who may then appear as a party (s 44(3)). Text read at laws-lois.justice.gc.ca.
