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

Worked example
Date the notice of motion objecting to the undertaking was served on Monday, March 15, 2027, personal service: due Thursday, March 25, 2027.
- Trigger (Date the notice of motion objecting to the undertaking was served): Monday, March 15, 2027.
- Exclude the trigger day and count 10 calendar days: Thursday, March 25, 2027.
Unsettled points
- The earliest hearing date adds the CCP 684.120 mail days and rolls forward, and the latest hearing date rolls back, so the window shown is inside every reading.Other reading: If mail days do not extend the notice, the earliest hearing is 5 days sooner; if CCP 12a rolls day 15, the latest hearing is a court day later.
Notes
