I'm not a lawyer so I don't understand why you would file it on the last day anyway. If you're appealing wouldn't you want to file just as soon as you're ready?

  It probably depends on knowing your chances for the appeal to stand. If you know the appeal is not going to stand and appeal simply to delay final judgement (penalties, basically), you are going to wait until the last moment.

  > If you're appealing wouldn't you want to file just as soon as you're ready? No, because everything starts a timeline for the next thing, and the way you get the most time for the next thing (which you might need as much as you can get) is to do everything possible without penalty to do the current thing as late as possible. Just because you are ready for the current thing doesn't mean you want to sacrifice time on the next thing. There's also interest in not giving your opponent information earlier than necessary in their cycle for things whose timing isn't keyed off your filing.

    This all sounds needlessly adversarial. Maybe the new deadline should be based on the old deadline, rather than the new filing date that's subject to the old deadline.
