What happens after an online adjournment is filed or refused?

Once an application is in, the court date shows a filed card and waits for the registry to allocate the new date; if the registry refuses the application, mark it refused and the date goes back to normal.

While the application is in

The court date’s Adjourn Online button drops away and Confirm adjournment takes its place: there’s nothing left to lodge. The same happens when the date is marked as covered by a town agent, and both come back if the application is refused.

If you open the Adjourn Online sheet anyway, it says Application already lodged with the date and time it went in. Submit is switched off, so a second application can’t follow the first. If the first was rejected or never reached the registry, click Lodge again and confirm.

Recording an application filed outside Acquit

An application can reach the court without Acquit seeing it: you lodged on the Queensland Courts site directly, or the other side lodged and told you. Open the court date’s detail drawer, click the menu and choose Mark adjournment application filed, then record who filed it. The same filed card appears, and Confirm adjournment waits for the new date.

If the registry refuses it

Click Mark as refused under the filed card, pick a reason, and add a note if there’s more to it. The court date goes back to normal everywhere in Acquit, since someone now has to appear: it stops being greyed out and drops its Filed badge in your diary and lists.

The application isn’t erased. It stays in the court date’s Activity list with the reason. If the listing is still before the cutoff you can click Apply again; Dismiss clears the alert and leaves the record.

Mark as refused is for an application that really was lodged and knocked back. If it was never lodged at all, use Clear adjournment application filed in the menu instead: that removes the filing entirely.
