- Rule 90.37(12)(h) - a judge of the Court of Appeal may extend or abridge any time prescribed by Rule 90 before or after expiration; r 94.03; Judicature Act, RSNS 1989 c 240, s 50, which authorises rules for extension "notwithstanding that the time period has expired". Never compute an extension.
- ADDED ON VERIFICATION. The catalogue already carried the ten-day deadline for the motion for date and directions on a child protection appeal (r 90.25(2)) but not the deadline for starting the appeal itself. Because s 49(1) is a period of days provided in a provincial statute for starting an appeal, r 90.13(2) and r 94.02(5) require it to be calculated under Rules 94.02(1) to (4) and expressly NOT as provided in the Interpretation Act, so it is twenty-five clear working days, close to five calendar weeks. The Court of Appeal's own guidance says the same: "within twenty-five (25) court business days, not counting the day the order was made or the day you file the appeal and also not counting weekends or holidays during which the court offices are closed" (NSCA, A How-To Manual for Civil Appeals). Section 49(4) is a separate cap on the court rather than the party: the appeal must be heard within ninety days of the filing of the notice of appeal, or such longer period not exceeding sixty days as the Court considers appropriate. Section 49(2): a stay may be sought at the time of the order for a period not exceeding ten days.
