Tel hofdae soos Uniform Rule 1 dit doen, sonder Saterdae, Sondae en elke Suid-Afrikaanse openbare vakansiedag, of tel kalenderdae en sien of die laaste dag op 'n hofdag val. Die sakrekenaar wys elke dag wat dit deurgeloop het, die ander tydperke vanaf dieselfde datum, en plaas die sperdatum direk in u kalender.
Tien hofdae om te pleit, vyf hofdae om 'n antwoordende eedsverklaring ná 'n kennisgewing van terrolplasing te liasseer, twintig hofdae om 'n pleit af te lewer nadat 'n kennisgewing van belet verstryk het: tik die tydperk wat die reël u gee en die sakrekenaar gee die laaste dag, met elke naweek en vakansiedag wat dit oorgeslaan het. Die antwoord word bygewerk terwyl u tik.

Under Uniform Rule 1, a court day is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday. When a rule says "within ten days" it means court days unless it says otherwise.
No. The civil method excludes the day of the trigger event and includes the last day. If the last day is not a court day, the period usually runs to the next court day.
The Public Holidays Act 36 of 1994: the fixed holidays, Good Friday and Family Day worked out from the Easter date, and the rule that a holiday falling on a Sunday moves to the Monday. One-off gazetted holidays such as election days cannot be known in advance and are not included.
The court-day method is the same, but each court's rules set their own periods and some statutes count calendar days. Check the rule you are working under and switch to calendar days where it applies.
It is a working aid built on the published rules, not legal advice. Confirm any deadline that matters against the rule itself and diarise it with a margin. Attorneys using AttorneyOS get the same calculator inside the diary, with the date added to the matter in one click.
Hofsperdatums is onvergewensgesind en die telling is maklik om verkeerd te kry. 'n Gelyste litigasieprokureur kan die lêer oorneem, die datum bevestig en betyds optree.
