Art. 1136

220COFederal ActJan 1, 1912Original source

The presentation and protest of a cheque must take place on a working day.
Where the last day of a time limit within which an action in connection with the cheque must be taken, in particular presentation, protest or an equivalent declaration, falls on a Sunday or a public holiday¹, the time limit is extended to include the next working day.

Holidays falling within the time limit are included when computing it.

Footnotes

In relation to the statutory time limits under federal law and the time limits fixed by authorities by virtue of federal law, Saturday is now regarded as equivalent to a public holiday (Art. 1 of the FA of 21 June 1963 on the Application of Limitation Periods to Saturdays;SR 173.110.3 ). ↩
