Quick Take

Rule 6351 of the Court Procedures Rules 2006 (ACT) confers jurisdiction to extend time for compliance with a self-executing order even after the period for compliance has expired and the deemed dismissal has taken effect. However, a party intending to seek special leave to the High Court should apply for a stay before the self-executing order takes effect rather than allowing it to lapse.
