Pa. O.C. Rule 4. Computation of Time
___(a) When any period of time
is referred to in any rule, such period in all cases, except as
otherwise provided in Rules 2 and
3 of this Section, shall be so
computed as to exclude the first and include
the last day of such period.
___(b) Whenever the last day of any
such period shall fall on Saturday or Sunday, or on any day made
a legal holiday by the laws of this Commonwealth or of the United
States, such day shall be omitted from the computation.
[Amended
January 1, 1968, effective February 1, 1968.]
___Whenever
in any rule or Act of Assembly providing for the publishing of
notices, the phrase "successive weeks" is used, weeks
shall be construed as calendar weeks. The publication upon any
day of such weeks shall be sufficient publication for that week,
but at least five days shall elapse between each publication.
___At least the number of weeks specified in "successive weeks"
shall elapse between the first publication and the day for the
happening of the event for which publication shall be made.
___Whenever in any
rule or Act of Assembly the lapse of a number of months after
or before a certain day is required, such number of months shall
be computed by counting the months from such day excluding the
calendar month in which such day occurs, and shall include the
day of the month in the last months so counted having the same
numerical order as the day of the month from which the computation
is made, unless there are not so many days in the last month so
counted, in which case the period computed shall expire with the
last day of such month.
