Court & Statutory Deadlines Calculator
Calculate exact filing deadlines and appeal periods across civil, enforcement, administrative, and misdemeanor proceedings. The tool automatically applies the first-day rule (dies a quo) and rolls over weekend expirations to Monday.

Calendar expiration date without weekend roll-over
The nominal expiration date falls on a Saturday (court non-working day). Under statutory procedural rules, the deadline automatically extends to expire at the close of the first subsequent business day — Monday at 24:00.
The deadline concludes on a standard court business day. Filings must be delivered to the court registry before office closing or dispatched via registered post prior to 24:00.
This tool calculates statutory calendar days and automatically rolls Saturday or Sunday expirations to the next business day (Monday). National, entity, cantonal, and religious holidays depend on the specific court seat (BiH FBiH/RS/BD, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro) and must be verified independently against that court’s official holiday schedule.
Civil Procedure Rules for Deadline Computation
1. First Day Rule (Dies a quo)
The day on which service of the document or announcement occurs is not counted towards the term; the term begins at 00:00 on the first subsequent calendar day.
2. Weekend & Holiday Roll-Over (Dies ad quem)
If the final day of a deadline falls on a public holiday, Sunday, or Saturday (days when courts are closed), the deadline expires at the conclusion of the first subsequent business day at 24:00.
3. Timeliness via Registered Post
Handing a court submission to a postal operator via registered mail is equivalent to filing directly with the court registry. Dispatched prior to 24:00 is deemed timely.

Statutory Rules & Practical Guidance
Important Legal Notice & Disclaimer
This calculator is provided as a professional utility for law firms, in-house counsel, and litigants, based on standard procedural rules of civil procedure. While the algorithm strictly follows statutory rules regarding calendar-day computations and next-business-day roll-overs, users are responsible for independently verifying jurisdictional public holidays, court recesses, and specialized statutory deadlines (lex specialis).
Standard Statutory Terms in Civil Litigation
- 3 days: Urgent motions, objections against interim protective measures, and document supplements.
- 8 days: Interlocutory procedural appeals and summary payment order objections.
- 15 days: Standard appeals against judgments in civil cases; formal responses to complaints.
- 30 days: Complex commercial dispute appeals; judicial review in administrative law.

Best Practices for Safe Deadline Management
- Retain Postal Proof of Service: The postal postmark date and signed advice of receipt constitute conclusive evidence of the service date.
