Yes. Acquit flags any court date that lands on a Queensland public holiday (days the court is unlikely to sit), so you can catch a mis-listed or mis-adjourned date before it bites.
The warning appears in several places:
- Court date cards on the matter timeline and your home agenda show an amber “Public holiday” line under the court details.
- The court date detail drawer shows a public-holiday chip at the top.
- Adding or adjourning a court date shows a warning under the date picker the moment you choose a holiday date.
- Town agency outcome reports warn beside any next-appearance or direction due date that falls on a holiday.
Which holidays are covered
Both statewide holidays (New Year, Australia Day, Easter, Anzac Day, Labour Day, King’s Birthday, Christmas and Boxing Day) and regional show days. Show days are local: the Brisbane Ekka, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Toowoomba and other shows only flag for courts in that region. A Gold Coast Show day flags a Southport or Beenleigh listing but not an Ipswich one.
Christmas Eve is not flagged: it is a part-day holiday and courts still sit in the morning.
Note: the warning is a heads-up, not a block, so you can still save the date if you know the court is sitting.
