Law (general)
English term or phrase: t/e
This is an abbreviation I encountered in setting the date for a hearing:

The Application be set down for Final Hearing on 30th November 2011, t/e 1/2 days

Does t/e mean something like "possibly delayed by 1-2 days" here?

The application refers to issuing a return order under the Child Abduction and Custody 1985 Act (UK).

Notes to answerer
Asker: Agreed, but why days? Is this "one or two days" or "half a day"?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Ty Kendall: I agree, it refers to how long the hearing is expected to last for.
1 min
  -> tx
agree  Sheila Wilson: to confirm for asker: time estimate is one to two days
13 mins
  -> thanks, but it could be a mistake (Court orders often have mistakes, believe me) and actually mean time estimate half a day
