Practice question
A party has six calendar days left when an authorized interruption ends. Notice of cessation is received on Friday. No special fresh-period rule applies. Saturday and Sunday are ordinary weekends, Thursday is a legal holiday where the court sits, and Friday after that is a working day. What is the proper due day?
- The following Friday: counting resumes Saturday and the sixth day, Thursday, is adjusted to the next working day.
- The following Monday because every intervening weekend is excluded.
- Friday of receipt because notice is day1.
- A completely new original period begins automatically.
- The next Wednesday because legal holidays always count backward.
