1Except when otherwise provided by law, time limits shall be determined in days, months or years. The expiry of a time limit may be also marked as a specified calendar date.
2When the time limit is defined in days, the day when the event has occurred, and from which the time limit starts to run, shall be excluded from the calculation of the time limit.
3A deadline which is set in months or years shall expire upon expiry of that last day, month, or year, which number corresponds to the day when the event, from which the time limit has started to run, has occurred. When such a day is missing in the last month, the deadline shall expire with the expiry of the last day of this month.
4Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays shall not impede the starting and duration of the time limits. If the last day of the time limit is a Saturday, Sunday, or a public holiday, the time limit shall expire on the next working day.
