Court of Appeal Rules, Man Reg 555/88 R, r 11(1)(a)How does this provision count time?
- Identify the actual applicable rule, actor and procedural branch.
- Establish the operative event from the actual filing, service, notice or order.
- Apply the correct counting source and each required act’s final-day boundary.
- Complete the actual required filing, service, document, security or hearing-setting steps.
Exclude the specified event date under Interpretation Act section 22(4) and count consecutive days. The Court of Appeal Rules have no general short-period holiday exclusion. Section 22(3) separately excludes both event dates for true clear-day or minimum-between-events wording; establish that classification before using a backward notice cutoff.
Interpretation Act sections 23 and 24 separately address statutory holidays and closure of the actual place for an act. Saturday, Easter Monday and Civic Holiday are not listed section 23 holidays. The April 1, 2026 court notice, effective April 20 until further notice, closes the registry counter Wednesdays and weekends and accepts Wednesday filing on the next open registry day. That filing notice does not automatically extend separate interpartes service. Establish actual method, place, calendar and any additional closure.
