How does this provision count time?

  1. Within fourteen days of acceptance
  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.
