GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

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"?
