When is the deadline for notice of appeal - order under the divorce act (including interim or costs order)?
The catalogue records a 30 days period from Day on which the order under the Divorce Act was made. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.

Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 30 days
- Trigger
- Day on which the order under the Divorce Act was made
- 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.
- Divorce Act s 21(4): "An appellate court or a judge thereof may, on special grounds, either before or after the expiration of the time fixed by subsection (3) for instituting an appeal, by order extend that time." Note the higher threshold, "special grounds", than the ordinary Rule 90.37(12)(h) power. Divorce Act s 21(2) is an absolute bar of a different kind: no appeal lies from a judgment granting a divorce on or after the day on which the divorce takes effect. Never compute an extension.
- This row is the single most dangerous entry in the Nova Scotia appeal table precisely because it looks like the neighbouring rows but is computed on a different basis. Treated naively as 30 clear working days it would be roughly two calendar weeks too generous. Corrected on verification: the research draft flagged this row as one that could not be reduced to a period. It can. The danger it identified is real but specific - the count is thirty CALENDAR days, not thirty clear business days. Treated as 30 clear working days the computed deadline would fall roughly two calendar weeks after the appeal right has already been lost.
