Section 11-271-107 - Computation and extension of time
Current through February, 2024
(a) Computation. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by the rules in this subchapter, the day of the event from which the designated period begins to run shall not be included. Saturdays, Sundays, and State holidays shall be included. When a stated time expires on a Saturday, Sunday or State holiday, the stated time period shall be extended to include the next business day.
(b) Extensions of time. The hearing officer may grant an extension of time for the filing of any pleading, document, or motion (1) upon timely motion of a party to the proceeding, for good cause shown, and after consideration of prejudice to other parties, or (2) upon his own motion. Such a motion by a party may only be made after notice to all other parties, unless the movant can show good cause why serving notice is impracticable. The motion shall be filed in advance of the date on which the pleading, document or motion is due to be filed, unless the failure of a party to make timely motion for extension of time was the result of excusable neglect.
(c) Service by mail. Service of the complaint is complete when the return receipt is signed. Service of all other pleadings and documents is complete upon mailing. Where a pleading or document is served by mail, five days shall be added to the time allowed by these rules for the filing of a responsive pleading or document.
