About this category & regulations

Missing a deadline for filing a lawsuit, an objection or an application can mean losing a right. Legal and official deadline calculation rests on adding the relevant number of days or months to a start date to find the last day.

How the calculation works

Last day = start date + period (days or months). This approach is calendar-day based: it does not treat weekends and public holidays separately. In practice, for some periods, if the last day falls on a holiday the period extends to the next working day; look for that rule in the relevant law.

Things to watch

  • When the period starts (notification, learning of the act, date of decision) is set by the relevant legislation.
  • The calculations on this page are preliminary information; for the exact deadline consult your lawyer or the relevant institution's rules.
