Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 21 days
- Trigger
- Date of the arrest referred to in s.7(1)(a) or (b)
- 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.
- Freely extendable. Under s.8(5) either party may apply before the fixed date and the judge may fix a later date if it is in the interests of justice, and the subsection 'may apply more than once'. In practice contested Part 1 extradition hearings are routinely listed well outside 21 days. Separately, s.8(4A) automatically extends the permitted period by the length of any s.8A or s.8B adjournment. Even where the hearing does not begin on the fixed date, discharge under s.8(7)-(8) is refused if 'reasonable cause is shown for the delay'.
- Counting is INCLUSIVE of the arrest date ('starting with'). Diarise as a listing target, not a cut-off. CrimPR 50.5(4)(c) mirrors the statute: directions for the hearing to begin 'no more than 21 days after the defendant's arrest, or ... at such a later date as the court decides is in the interests of justice'.
