Paragraph 12 Calculating time

An act required by these Rules, a practice direction or an order to be done on or by a particular day must be done before 5pm on that day.

If the time specified by these Rules, a practice direction or an order for doing any act ends on a day other than a working day, the act is done in time if it is done on the next working day.

In this rule “working day” means any day except a Saturday or Sunday or a bank holiday in Scotland under section 1 of the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971^f1.
