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."

Worked example

Date the notice of motion objecting to the undertaking was SERVED on Monday, March 15, 2027, personal service: due Wednesday, March 17, 2027.

  1. Trigger (Date the notice of motion objecting to the undertaking was SERVED): Monday, March 15, 2027.
  2. Exclude the trigger day and count 2 calendar days: Wednesday, March 17, 2027.

Unsettled points

  • The court sets the hearing; the calculator adds CCP 1013 mail days to the earliest hearing date and keeps the latest date unextended and rolled back, so the window is inside every reading.Other reading: If CCP 1013 does not shift the window, the earliest hearing date is 5 days sooner; if it does, the latest date is 5 days later.
