Risk Radar
Scan points- 1Missing the time limit set by the Rules of Court, which is rarely extended.
- 2Getting the title of the proceedings or the record number wrong, so the office cannot match the filing.
- 3Failing to serve the other parties in the manner the Rules require.
- 4Leaving an affidavit unsworn, or exhibiting documents that are not properly marked.
- 5Filing in the wrong court or the wrong office for the value or subject of the claim.
Plain English
If the police need more time to investigate a serious drug‑trafficking case, they apply for a court order to keep the suspect detained longer. This form is the official request that the court signs to make that possible.
Submission Date
- Filing date: Within the period set by the relevant Rules of Court or by the order giving rise to the filing — court time limits are strict and rarely extended.
- Preparation window: collect IDs, supporting records, and signatures in advance.
