Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations (1) This rule applies
to an application for a parenting order relating in whole or part to the
school holiday period beginning in December in a year (the "application year")
and extending to January in the following year.
(2) The application
must be filed before 4.00 pm on the second Friday in November of the
application year.
Note Except in cases of urgency (where the usual criteria for
an urgent hearing will apply), an application filed after the deadline under
subrule (2) will be allocated the next available date in the usual way. That
date may be after Christmas. In other words, if the deadline has passed, the
fact that an application relates to the school holiday period will not of
itself justify a listing before Christmas. In urgent cases, applications to
abridge times and to list a matter on short notice can be made to the
Registry.
