When is the deadline for eir extension of time to 40 working days?
The catalogue records a 40 working-days period from The date of receipt of the request (the extended period runs from receipt, not from the date of the extension notice). 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
- 40 working-days
- Trigger
- The date of receipt of the request (the extended period runs from receipt, not from the date of the extension notice)
- 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.
- The decision to extend is the authority's, but the length is not: 40 working days is a hard ceiling, not a starting point, and the qualifying test is conjunctive - complexity AND volume - and must make compliance "impracticable". There is no power to go beyond 40 working days for any reason. Once extended, the 40 working day date is as binding as the original 20.
- Regulation 7(2) confirms the extension applies to reg 5(2), reg 6(2)(a) (form and format) and reg 14(2) (refusals), so a refusal can also be issued at up to 40 working days if reg 7 is engaged. Compute the extended deadline from the date of receipt of the request, not from the date the extension is claimed.
