Rule 107. Enlargement of time

Chapter XIII · Disposal of Cases and Pronouncement of Orders

107.1 The rule

Where any period is fixed by or under these rules, or granted by Appellate Tribunal for the doing of any act, or filing of any document or representation, the Appellate Tribunal may, in its discretion from time to time in the interest of justice and for reasons to be recorded, enlarge such period, even though the period fixed by or under these rules or granted by the Appellate Tribunal may have expired.

107.2 What it does

Rule 107 lets the Tribunal give more time for a step in a pending matter, and lets it do so after the time has already run out. It is the provision that saves a late reply, a late rejoinder, a late compliance with a direction from the chair.
