The statutory deadline helper: what it computes and its limits

What does it compute?

When you choose From a statutory rule in Add deadline:

1. You pick the Rule and see its Period, Counted from (for example, from receipt of the judgment deed) and Source (the law and article).
2. You enter the Start date.
3. The system computes: start date + the rule's number of days, in Gregorian days, and puts it in Computed date.

The rules currently included (all with periods that must be verified): appeal period (30 days), appeal in urgent matters (10 days), cassation request to the Supreme Court (30), petition for reconsideration (30), appeal in administrative courts (30), filing an administrative claim after grievance (60), labour claim limitation (365), enforcement objection (5). Rules for the matter's court type are listed first.

Limits of the computation

• The computed date is exactly the start date plus the number of days (the start day itself is not counted as day one). Public holidays are not considered and a date that lands on a holiday is not extended. If the computed date falls on Friday or Saturday you see a message prompting you to check whether the period extends to the next working day.
• Every rule carries an Unverified badge and the line "Check this period against the law before relying on it" until a qualified person verifies it.

Editing the date

Computed date is editable. If your count differs, change it; the audit log records that it was edited from the computed date, and you see "Edited from the computed date".
