CRC 1.10(a): "The time in which any act provided by these rules is to be performed is computed by excluding the first day and including the last, unless the last day is a Saturday, Sunday, or other legal holiday, and then it is also excluded." CRC 1.10(b): "Unless otherwise provided by law, if the last day for the performance of any act that is required by these rules to be performed within a specific period of time falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or other legal holiday, the period is extended to and includes the next day that is not a holiday." CRC 8.60(a): "The Code of Civil Procedure governs computing and extending the time to do any act required or permitted under these rules." CCP 12: "The time in which any act provided by law is to be done is computed by excluding the first day, and including the last, unless the last day is a holiday, and then it is also excluded." CCP 12a(a): "If the last day for the performance of any act provided or required by law to be performed within a specified period of time is a holiday, then that period is hereby extended to and including the next day that is not a holiday. For purposes of this section, “holiday” means all day on Saturdays, all holidays specified in Section 135 and, to the extent provided in Section 12b, all days that by terms of Section 12b are required to be considered as holidays." CCP 12b: "If any city, county, state, or public office, other than a branch office, is closed for the whole of any day, insofar as the business of that office is concerned, that day shall be considered as a holiday for the purposes of computing time under Sections 12 and 12a."Official source
- Applies to undertakings staying enforcement under CCP 917.1-917.9 (bond chapter governs objections to any bond given in an action, 995.910). Objection must be written and made by noticed motion stating precise grounds (995.930(a)); grounds: insufficient sureties, amount, or other cause (995.920). AMBIGUITY on mail extension: CCP 995.030 requires service under the bond chapter 'in the same manner as service of process in civil actions generally', so whether CCP 1013 adds days is unclear; modeled with no extension (conservative). If the court finds the undertaking insufficient and a sufficient one is not given in time, the stay ends (922). Statute amended 1984.
- If the clerk's office is closed or inaccessible on the last day (weather, emergency or local closure orders), the deadline may be extended. Check local orders.

Worked example
Date a copy of the undertaking (bond) was SERVED on the beneficiary (respondent) on Monday, March 15, 2027, personal service: due Thursday, March 25, 2027.
- Trigger (Date a copy of the undertaking (bond) was SERVED on the beneficiary (respondent)): Monday, March 15, 2027.
- Exclude the trigger day and count 10 calendar days: Thursday, March 25, 2027.
Unsettled points
- The calculator shows 10 days from service with no CCP 1013 days, because bond papers are served like process.Other reading: If CCP 1013 applied, the objection would be due 5 days later.
