When is the deadline for appeal from a decision or order of the registrar (aro)?
The catalogue records a 5 working-days period from Rule 21(2): the decision appealed from. PD 3.5.4 and 7.13.3: the date the Registrar's decision was sent to the parties. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
