When is the deadline for listing a defendant's application for discharge on expiry of a time limit?
The catalogue records a 2 days period from Service of the written application for discharge. 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.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 2 days
- Trigger
- Service of the written application for discharge
- 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.
- Qualified by 'Unless the court otherwise directs'. This is a listing obligation on the court officer rather than a party deadline, so no sanction attaches to the defendant.
- This rule is the practical gateway to every mandatory-discharge provision in the Act, and rule 50.16(1)(d) is a useful consolidated checklist of the operative time limits: 48 hours (s.6), 45 days (s.74), 21 days (s.37), 10 days (s.46), 10 days (ss.35, 36, 47), 28 days (ss.117, 118), 21 days (s.180), 21 days (s.181).
