Calculation of time limits

1. The time limits that are stated in hours in this part are calculated by excluding the hour in which the right to appeal or the administrative obligation arises. Whenever the time limits in this Code are calculated in hours, the administrative organ appointed by this Code is required to mark in an administrative act the hour when the act was declared. Otherwise, the time limit is calculated beginning at 800 of the following day. 

2. The time limits that in this part are stated in days are calculated by excluding the day on which the right to appeal or the administrative obligation arises. 

3. If the end of a time limit according to point 2 of this article falls outside the official working hours determined in the CEC decision, then the running of the time is suspended at the close of the official working hours and resumes at the starting time of the official working hours of the following day. 

4. If the end of the time limits falls on days of rest or on an official holiday, the time limit resumes on the next working day. 

5. For time limits for appeals according to this part, the time they begin may not be reset. 

6. For the purposes of this article, if not otherwise decided by the CEC, the official working hours are to be calculated from 800 until 1600, and Saturdays and Sundays are to be days of rest.
