Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 14 days
- Trigger
- Date the Tribunal sends the party the decision notice and notification of any right of appeal
- 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.
- Extendable under rule 6(3)(a), including retrospectively. But treat it as practically hard: written reasons are the trigger for the 28 day permission to appeal clock under rule 52(2)(a), and Upper Tribunal rule 21(6) requires an explanation where the request for a written statement of reasons was itself out of time.
- CURRENCY - 2026 CHANGE. The period was reduced from 1 month to 14 days with effect from 2 March 2026 by the Tribunal Procedure and Employment Tribunal Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2026 (S.I. 2026/115), rule 6(2), which provides: in rule 36(4) for "1 month" substitute "14 days". Any precedent, checklist or diary system predating March 2026 will carry the old one month figure. Rul
