2. ADGM Rule 6 counts days as clear days, excluding the start and an event-defined end. For periods of five days or less, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays do not count. Actual month periods and operative events need their own source review.
3. Current Rule 7(5), as amended on October 17, 2025, concerns a specified act whose period ends on a closed registry day, subject to the relevant practice direction. The amendment removed the old restriction to acts at the registry. Minimum notice, status and agreed caps remain distinct; no automatic final date is shown.

• ADGM prompt judicial review claim concerns file the claim form from actual first accrual of the grounds, with promptly and in any event within three calendar months after accrual. ADGM detailed judicial review grounds after permission concerns file and serve detailed grounds and evidence from actual service of the order giving permission, with within thirty-five days after service. ADGM Small Claims and short lease appeal notice concerns file and serve the notice on all other parties from actual final judgment or order, using the later date if both differ, with within fourteen days unless the court orders otherwise. Those events do not replace actual service of the claim form and later actual filing for this step.
