PROPER CALCULATION OF DAYS AND DEADLINES IS CRUCIAL WHEN PREPARING AND SERVING NOTICES

 

1.   If a Notice is 5 days OR LESS, you would EXCLUDE Saturdays, Sundays and Court Observed Legal Holidays.

 

2.   A typical 7 Day Notice is 7 STRAIGHT days and includes Saturdays, Sundays and Court Observed Legal Holidays.

 

3.   A typical 3 Day Notice is 3 BUSINESS DAYS not including Saturdays, Sundays or Court Observed Legal Holidays.

 

4.  You never count the day of service.  

 

5.  You can always make the Notice expire LATER than the required date.

 

6.   You can serve Notices on Saturdays, Sundays or Court Observed Legal Holidays BUT, you would not count the day of service or the Saturday, Sunday or Court Observed Legal Holiday.

 

7.  HEIST, WEISSE & WOLK will provide you with the LIST OF COURT OBSERVED LEGAL HOLIDAYS in January of each year when all the courts have decided what holidays to observe.

 

8.  Not all courts observe all the same Legal Holidays or observe them on the same date.

 

9.  A 3 Day Notice will never end on a Saturday, Sunday or Court Observed Legal Holiday.

 

10.  Always check the LIST OF COURT OBSERVED LEGAL HOLIDAYS as it is easy to forget them if you traditionally work on that day.  

 

11. If you serve a Notice with a SHORT DATE, the passage of time will not CURE the Notice.

 

12. If you have any questions, always call us for verification.

 

 

Serving a properly dated and prepared Notice is crucial to a successful legal action. Be 100% sure you prepare and serve the Notice correctly or you will need to start all over from scratch costing you time and money.
