Omnilex summary

The court held that the three-month appeal period began on 10 September at 00:00 and ended on 9 December at 24:00. Since the appeal was filed on 10 December, it was out of time. The appeal was therefore declared inadmissible.

Key legal question

Whether the appeal was filed within the 3-month statutory deadline.

Extracted holding

No. A time limit in months is counted from date to date; the starting date is not counted twice. The period began on 10 September and expired on 9 December at 24:00, so filing on 10 December was late.

Extracted reasoning

The court applied the rule for calculating a monthly deadline and held that the quantième is counted from the starting day to the corresponding day in the later month, without counting the starting day twice.
