Motion for an Enlargement of Time

A motion for an enlargement of time must set forth: (a) the specific number of additional days requested; (b) the date to which the enlargement is to run; (c) the total number of days granted in any previously filed motions for enlargement; and (d) the reason for the enlargement. (As revised and reissued May 1, 2002; as amended Nov. 3, 2008, July 31, 2023.) Rules Committee Notes 2002 Revision New RCFC 6.1 has no FRCP counterpart. The text of the new rule formerly appeared in these rules as part of RCFC 6(b). However, the language in former RCFC 6(b), which addressed the content of the reasons offered in support of a motion for enlargement of time, has been stricken as unnecessary. 2008 Amendment The language of RCFC 6.1 has been amended to conform to the general restyling of the FRCP. 2023 Amendment RCFC 6.1(b), requiring the moving party to communicate with opposing counsel before filing a motion for enlargement, has been deleted in light of the adoption of new RCFC 7.3, titled “Duty to Confer on Nondispositive Motions.” RCFC 6.1 14 TITLE III.
