Rule 3 Interpretation

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

This rule shows how to calculate any period of time for doing any act which is specified by these Rules for the purposes of any proceedings under Part 2 of the Act or by an order of the Crown Court in restraint proceedings or receivership proceedings.

(2)

A period of time expressed as a number of days shall 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.

(4)

Where the specified period is 5 days or less and includes a day which is not a business day that day does not count.
