Art. 28 GOG - Calculation · Calculation

1. In the calculation of time limits, the day on which the time limit begins to run is not counted.

2. January 2nd, Easter Monday, Whit Monday, and December 26th are considered equivalent to public holidays applicable throughout the entire canton with regard to the running of time limits.

3. A time limit is only met if the action is performed within the specified period. Written submissions must be received by the authority to which they are to be submitted, or handed over to the Swiss Post by the last day of the time limit at the latest. The time limit is also deemed to be met if the submission has been mistakenly submitted to an incompetent judicial or administrative authority in the canton within the time limit.
