Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 20 working-days
- Trigger
- Day the judge's decision is communicated to the successful party
- 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.
- Rule 78.04(3)(e): the judge may settle the terms of the order or direct that a dispute be resolved by motion under Rule 25 - Motion by Appointment, Rule 26A - Conference, or Rule 27 - Motion by Correspondence. Rule 78.04(3)(f): the judge who resolves a dispute about the form of order may direct that a final draft be delivered without a consent. Rule 78.04(3) applies only in the absence of directions.
- ADDED ON VERIFICATION. Runs from the same trigger as r 78.04(3)(a), the communication of the decision, and not from the expiry of the five-day objection window, so the twenty days and the ten days are parallel rather than sequential. Verified against the Official Consolidated Civil Procedure Rules, consolidation of 19 June 2026, published by the Courts of Nova Scotia.
