Monday
The calculated last day of a period.
Choose the start date, unit and amount. Vekilaw calculates an end date from those inputs and options; it does not determine the legal starting point or the rule applicable to your case. Saved periods can be followed in the case and calendar subject to access conditions.

Calendar
The calendar from service to last day
This illustration and the free tool use the Website calculator; panel and mobile previews use the corresponding server calculator. This is not the same running code or a guarantee of legal correctness in every situation. The example separates counted days from end-date shifts.

How the due date is calculated
For calendar units the software calculates a raw date, end-date shift and, if selected, a recess extension. Business-day mode counts separately. The following describes product behaviour, not a determination of the applicable legal rule.
- 1/7
Day counting advances from the day after the entered start date; the user supplies the start and amount.
- 2/7
Week, month and year calculations use date arithmetic. If a corresponding day is missing in the target month, the month end is used; this does not mean every procedural exception is modelled.
- 3/7
In calendar units, intervening holidays are counted; an end date marked as a holiday in the bundled calendar is shifted to the next working day. Fixed and religious holiday data is limited to 2024–2030.
- 4/7
With the recess option enabled, an end date after holiday shifting that falls in 20 July–31 August is extended to 7 September, then shifted again if needed. The engine does not automatically determine whether this option applies to the case.
- 5/7
Half-day eves are shown as warnings rather than date shifts. The system does not calculate filing hours, office closing time or an electronic filing deadline instant.
- 6/7
Business-day mode always skips Saturdays and Sundays; public holidays are skipped only when that option is enabled. Recess extension is not applied in this mode.
- 7/7
Calculations requiring holiday data fail when checked dates leave 2024–2030. In business-day mode without public-holiday exclusion, only weekends are considered and that holiday-data range is not required.
Keeping the inputs makes the calculation easier to review. Record visibility depends on permission scope; a shared calculation does not grant automatic access to the whole team or establish that every holiday and exception has been verified.
The software does not determine valid service, the starting date, applicability of a period type, statutory or decision-specific exceptions, or filing hours. The calculation trail assists record keeping; it is not legal deadline approval. Check selections against current legislation and case circumstances; the appeal and cassation guide is a separate introductory resource.
Example: a two-week appeal that meets a religious holiday
This example starts on May 15, 2026 with an amount of two weeks. The engine produces raw end May 29, 2026, calendar marker Kurban Bayrami (Eid al-Adha) and end date June 1, 2026. In the comparison with the recess option enabled, start July 10, 2026 gives raw end July 24, 2026 and result September 7, 2026. These are examples for selected inputs, not the appeal period or filing hour for an actual decision. Explore your inputs in the calculation tool.
The example uses the Website calculator and bundled 2024–2030 holiday data; it is not evidence of a saved case or legal applicability.
Deadline types
What goes into a legal deadline record?
A period record belongs to a case. Select its start, unit, amount and applicable options. With the required access, use the preset catalogue or enter a custom amount. A preset does not automatically validate the period type, starting date or legal applicability to the case. Preview does not save; the server recalculates on save. See case management for the linked file.
Record fields
- Deadline type
- Appeal, cassation, objection, response period or evidence submission.
- Start date
- The date selected for calculation; the system does not verify the legal starting point.
- Unit and length
- Days, weeks, months, years or business days; from a ready-made period or typed in.
- Judicial recess
- Optional extension calculation for calendar units; not applied in business-day mode.
- Status
- New records are created with Active status; the current edit form does not change that status.
- Description
- The reasoning or a note on the document concerned.
- 01/05
Appeal
The preset catalogue includes appeal options for different jurisdictions. You verify the applicable option, starting date and eligibility for appeal.
- 02/05
Cassation
Cassation presets fill the unit, amount and recess defaults; the system does not determine whether a decision can be challenged.
- 03/05
Objection
The catalogue includes objection options for different procedures. Check how specific legislation, decisions and procedural circumstances affect your selection.
- 04/05
Response period
Presets include responses to claims and appeal petitions; extensions and exceptions are not detected automatically.
- 05/05
Evidence submission
For periods set by the judge you type the unit and the length yourself, so unusual periods get a record too.
Use description for document references and explanatory notes. The period remains linked to the case; changing the assignee does not itself create a new period or a delivered reminder. Access depends on current case/branch scope and deadline permissions.
Agenda
How deadlines connect to the agenda, dashboard and notifications
Saved periods appear in calendar and dashboard reads according to current access and date filters. Reminder creation and delivery through notification channels depend on record/company/user preferences, permissions, channel configuration, quotas and background processing. Saving does not guarantee email, SMS, WhatsApp or push delivery.
For a deeper read on periods see the appeal and cassation deadlines guide, and for how a single practitioner works see the solo lawyer solution.

Questions
What do people ask about deadline calculation?
- 01/06
Which holidays are taken into account?
The bundled calendar includes weekends, fixed public holidays and listed religious holidays. Calendar units count intervening holidays and shift a non-working end date. Business-day mode always skips weekends and skips public holidays only when selected.
- 02/06
Is the judicial recess taken into account?
You can enable the option for calendar units. The engine applies an extension in its configured date range and a further holiday shift if needed; business-day mode does not use it. It does not determine which cases or periods are subject to judicial recess.
- 03/06
Are holiday eves taken into account?
If a listed half-day eve falls on the last day, a warning is shown without automatically shifting the date. Output does not determine the final filing time within that day.
- 04/06
Which years are supported?
The holiday calendar covers 2024–2030. When the end or a rollover day falls outside that range the system returns an error. In business-day mode, if you do not exclude holidays only weekends are skipped and no year limit applies.
- 05/06
Will I be warned before a deadline runs out?
Upcoming records appear in calendar/dashboard within access and date scope. Reminder delivery depends on preferences, permissions, channels, quotas and background jobs; having a record does not mean every channel will alert you. See notifications.
- 06/06
Which date should I start the period from?
Determine the starting date from the applicable procedure, notification and case circumstances. Vekilaw uses the entered date; it does not verify the legally valid service or knowledge date.
