1Opinion of the CourtSundby, J.
In these appeals under the Children’s Code we construe secs. 48.30(6) and 48.31(7), Stats. We conclude that the thirty-day time limit in each section is mandatory. In each case the trial court lost competency to exercise its jurisdiction to hear the petition initiating proceedings under ch. 48 because it did not observe the time limit. In In the Interest of L.H. v. State, we also decide that L.H. did not consent to a continuance of the dispositional hearing. We remand with directions to vacate the dispositional orders and dismiss the petitions.
