Paragraph 5 Time limits
The Registrar may extend or shorten any time limit set by these Rules or any relevant practice direction (unless to do so would be contrary to any statutory provision).
The Registrar may exercise these powers either on an application by one or more parties or without an application being made.
The Registrar will notify the parties when a time limit is varied under this rule.
An application for an extension may be granted after the time limit has expired.
Where the appellant has—
applied for assistance from public funds in the appellant’s jurisdiction; and
informed the Registrar of that application,
the time limits in rules 11 and 18 shall be extended until 28 days after the final determination of the application for assistance from public funds.
When the period specified –
by these Rules or a practice direction, or
by any judgment or order,
for doing any act at the Registry ends on a day on which the Registry is closed, that act shall be in time if done on the next day on which the Registry is open.
