CHAPTER 3Calculation of time periods
Periods of time expressed in days
1.3.—(1) This rule applies to the calculation of a period of time expressed in days.
(2) A period of time expressed as a number of days is to be computed as clear days.
(3) In this rule, “clear days” means that in computing the number of days—
(a)the day on which the period begins; and
(b)if the end of the period is defined by reference to an event, the day on which that event occurs,
are not included.
Periods of time expressed in months
1.4.—(1) This rule applies to the calculation of a period of time expressed in months.
(2) The beginning and the end of a period expressed in months are to be determined as follows—
(a)if the beginning of the period is specified—
(i)the month in which the period ends is the specified number of months after the month in which it begins; and
(ii)the date in the month on which the period ends is—
(aa)the day before the date corresponding to the date in the month on which it begins, or
(bb)if there is no such date in the month in which it ends, the last day of that month;
(b)if the end of the period is specified—
(i)the month in which the period begins is the specified number of months before the month in which it ends; and
(ii)the date in the month on which the period begins is—
(aa)the day after the date corresponding to the date in the month on which it ends, or
(bb)if there is no such date in the month in which it begins, the last day of that month.
