Non-juridical days

The Code of Civil Procedure determines non-juridical days, which are days on which the courts cannot sit and bailiffs cannot make seizures. Non-juridical days are taken into account when calculating an appeal deadline or another time limit.

The following are non-juridical days:

• Sundays;
• 1 and 2 January;
• Good Friday;
• Easter Monday;
• 24 June;
• the 1^st of July or the 2^nd of July when the 1^st is a Sunday;
• 25 and 26 December;
• the day fixed by proclamation of the Governor-General for the celebration of the birthday of the Sovereign;
• any other day fixed by proclamation of the Government as a public holiday or as a day of thanksgiving (the first Monday of September, the second Monday of October).

Note that Saturday is considered to be a non-juridical day only when calculating a time limit.
