FA-77566 / Legal deadline computation / Open access

Earliest hearing date after court-day notice plus mailing days: final roll · case 01

The earliest hearing is scheduled on a court holiday.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 7 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The final adjustment only skips weekends.

VERIFIED REPAIR

At the final roll decision use `while closed(d):; d += dt.timedelta(days=1)`, leaving the other decision sites of the model unchanged.

Unsuccessful approach: The partial repair `if closed(d):; d += dt.timedelta(days=1)` moves at most one day, which can still land on a weekend.

Case contract

Stipulated: a motion must be served at least notice_days court days before the hearing. Excluding the service day, count notice_days court days (not Saturday, Sunday or a listed holiday); then add calendar days for the service method (mail 5, mail-out-of-state 10, express 2, otherwise 0). If that day is not a court day, the earliest hearing is the next court day.

Why this case matters

Docketing systems compute filing and response deadlines from trigger events; a wrong date can forfeit a right.

Verification & scope

Stipulated toy deadline rules evaluated offline on explicit fixtures. The contract is inspired by common court-rule structures but is not legal advice and makes no claim to reproduce any jurisdiction's rules. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
