FA-77415 / Legal deadline computation / Member archive
Month-denominated periods with end-of-month rule: roll convention · case 05
A deadline landing on a weekend is moved earlier, shortening the period.
Case contract
A period of months runs to the same-numbered day of the target month. Stipulated: if the trigger is the last day of its month the period ends on the last day of the target month; otherwise a missing day (e.g. the 30th of February) becomes the last day of the target month. A closed last day (Saturday, Sunday, listed holiday) moves forward to the next open day, even into the next month.
Why this case matters
Docketing systems compute filing and response deadlines from trigger events; a wrong date can forfeit a right.
