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." CCP 10: "Holidays within the meaning of this code are every Sunday and any other days that are specified or provided for as judicial holidays in Section 135."Official source
- Default rule for all papers in coordination proceedings (CRC 3.501 et seq.) unless a specific rule or the assigned judge directs otherwise. Supersedes CCP 1005 timing in coordination proceedings (CRC 3.504(b)). AMBIGUITY: whether CCP 1013 add-ons extend this notice period; CCP 1005(b)'s exclusion of 1013 is not repeated in the coordination rules, so the conservative setting applies the add-on (earlier date). Assigned judge may shorten or extend (CRC 3.503).
- 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.
This calculator applies the cited rules to the dates you enter. It is not legal advice. Court orders, local rules, and case-specific facts can change a deadline; verify before relying on it. Rule set pending attorney review.
Worked example
Hearing date on the petition, motion, or application in the coordination proceeding on Monday, March 15, 2027, personal service: due Tuesday, March 2, 2027.
- Trigger (Hearing date on the petition, motion, or application in the coordination proceeding): Monday, March 15, 2027.
- Count back 9 court days (Saturdays, Sundays, and court holidays are not counted): Tuesday, March 2, 2027.
Unsettled points
- The calculator applies mail and e-service add-ons to the 9-court-day coordination deadlines, which moves service earlier, the safe direction.Other reading: If CCP 1013 and 1010.6 do not apply, papers may be served 5 calendar or 2 court days later.
