Practice question
A general legal period is stated as one year and crosses a leap day. One party substitutes 365 days by quoting Civil Code Article 13; the other invokes EO 292 section 31. No special law prescribes a fixed-day period. Which analysis follows Primetown?
- The older fixed-365-day rule always defeats EO 292
- The later twelve-calendar-month definition governs the incompatible year computation
- Every leap day must be counted twice
- The period becomes thirty calendar months
- Neither statute applies to legal periods
