Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Rule fixes the High Court's sitting dates for 2015, sets the dates for special‑leave hearings, and announces the start dates of the 2015 winter and summer recesses. It permits sittings at Canberra and “other places as required.” It affects litigants, counsel, court staff and parties by locking in hearing windows and deadlines and by giving court administrators venue discretion, which can shift some logistical and filing obligations onto participants (see rules 1–3).
