Deadlines in the High Court

Rowe v Electoral Commissioner [2010] HCATrans 182

HAYNE J: Now, I know that timetable is very tight, but I think if the matter is to be prepared properly, there is nothing for it but to begin the timetable on the Friday. Now, that would mean that 4.00 pm Friday would be an absolute drop dead deadline for your side’s submissions. Can that be done?

MR MERKEL QC: Yes, your Honour. The words “drop dead” have a certain incentive about it to make sure that it is done, your Honour.

HIS HONOUR: That is the intention, Mr Merkel.
