Section 032-540-5 - Computation of Time1. General rule. In computing any period of time that is either prescribed or allowed by this rule, or is ordered by the Administrator or presiding officer, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included. The last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, State holiday, or any other day on which the Office is closed, in which event the period runs until the end of the next business day.2. Modification. When by this rule or by order of the Administrator or presiding officer an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified time, the Administrator or presiding officer for good cause shown may in his/her discretion order the period extended or shortened, except as precluded by statute. When the Administrator or presiding officer modifies a period of time for the simultaneous exchange of documents, the period is equally modified for all parties, unless the Administrator or presiding officer orders otherwise.02-032 C.M.R. ch. 540, § 5
