The 42-day appeal period under s 65(1) of the Land Court Act 2000 (Qld) runs from the date the decision is actually delivered to or received by the party, not from the date the decision is handed down in court. Where the decision is posted, the appeal period commences when the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post under ss 39 and 39A of the Acts Interpretation Act 1954 (Qld). Different parties may therefore have different commencement dates for the appeal period.
