Computation Of Time

(1) Unless otherwise noted, the time required for completing any actions in these rules is calculated as in Rule 6.01 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure. (2) Except for filing a petition for benefit determination under T.C.A. § 50-6-203 and a request for hearing under T.C.A. § 50-6-239(a), when an act is required to be done at or within a specified time, a judge may at any time: (a) Extend the deadline if requested before expiration of the original deadline or before the deadline extended by a previous order; or (b) Permit the act to be done late on motion made after the deadline has passed, if the failure to complete the act resulted from excusable neglect or good cause as determined by the judge.
