Abstract

Owing to the growing dynamics of transactions the fact that deadlines shorter than 24 hours are more and more frequently reserved in agreements is understandable. However, otherwise than in deadlines defined in days, months or years, the Civil Code does not specify how such deadlines are to be calculated. Trying to formulate rules for calculating those deadlines two options have to be considered – interpretation of the agreement allowing to state that the deadline set by the parties with a use of a unit shorter than 24 hours is in fact a one-day deadline or by per snalogiam application of deadline calculation provisions. The aim of this article is to examine which of those methods is the right one.
