New coverageScotland
Scottish courts and tribunals coverage launched
Seventy-three deadlines across the sheriff courts, the Court of Session, tribunals and statutory appeals. The engine counts by the statutory wording: periods "beginning with" an event count the trigger day, periods "after" an event exclude it, and each rule records which applies. Scottish bank holidays for 2024 to 2028 are bundled, and entries awaiting primary-source verification are flagged in the calculator.
Verification passIreland

Corrections applied include the 30-day tax appeal period moving to s959AF(1) TCA 1997, the RTB appeal window running from service of the Tribunal report and statement, and the removal of an appeal route abolished by SI 469/2018. The 28-day Circuit Court to High Court appeal period was confirmed under Order 61 rule 2(4) as substituted by SI 161/2024, and citations were tightened to pinpoint subsections throughout.

Important boundary
Updates do not automatically alter a matter deadline
A published update may be relevant to a saved matter, but only a review of the current rule, its commencement, any order and the facts can establish whether a deadline changes.
