Principle

No. IV.2.5 - Holidays and non-business days

If a notice, letter or other communication cannot be delivered at the address of the addressee on the last day of a period set by law or contractual stipulation because that day falls on an official holiday or non-business day at the place of business of the addressee, the period is extended until the first business day which follows.

Commentary
The Principle is a natural consequence of the fact that holidays or non-business days are non-working days while time periods set by law or contract relate to working days because the act required from one party to be performed within that period can only be performed in his or her professional capacity.
