Rule 14 - Computation and Extension of Time(A) Computation of time. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by these rules, by the local rules of any court, by an order of court or by any applicable statute, the day of the act, event or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included. The last day of the period so computed shall be included, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday. When the period of time prescribed or allowed is less than seven days, intermediate Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays shall be excluded in the computation.(B) Enlargement or reduction of time. For good cause shown, the court, upon motion, may enlarge or reduce the time prescribed by these rules or by its order for doing any act, or may permit an act to be done after the expiration of the prescribed time. The court may not enlarge or reduce the time for filing a notice of appeal or a motion to certify pursuant to App. R. 25. Enlargement of time to file an application for reconsideration or for en banc consideration pursuant to App. R. 26(A) shall not be granted except on a showing of extraordinary circumstances.(C) Additional time after service by mail or commercial carrier service. Whenever a party has the right or is required to do some act or take some proceedings within a prescribed period after service of a notice or other document upon that party and the notice or paper is served upon the party by mail or commercial carrier service under App.R. 13(C)(4), three days shall be added to the prescribed period. This division does not apply to responses to service of summons in original actions.Effective:7/1/1971; amended effective 7/1/1994; amended effective 7/1/2010;7/1/2012.Staff Note (July 1, 2010 amendment)
The amendment is a technical amendment to reflect the procedure in App. R. 26.
Staff Notes (July 1, 2012 amendment)
The amendment to App.R. 14(C) now extends the "three-day rule" - traditionally available after service of a document by regular mail - to other service methods that do not provide same-day delivery to the recipient. The language of the amendment largely tracks the language of the 2012 amendment to Civ.R. 6(D).
