Competition Act, 1998 (Act No. 89 of 1998)

Competition Tribunal Rules

Part 1 - General Provisions

Division B - Tribunal Office Functions

4. Time limits

 

1) When a particular number of days is prescribed for doing an act, the number of days must be calculated by excluding the first day and including the last day.

 

2) When the time for doing an act expires on a public holiday, a Saturday or a Sunday, the act may be done on the next day that is not a public holiday, a Saturday, or a Sunday (1).

 

3) When a particular number of business days is prescribed for doing an act, the provisions of sub-rule (1) apply, but public holidays, Saturdays and Sundays must not be included in the calculation of the time limit.

 

4) On good cause shown, a member of the Tribunal may condone late performance of an act in respect of which these rules prescribe a time limit, other than a time limit that is binding on the Tribunal itself.

 

 

(1) Note that time periods in the Act are calculated in accordance with the Interpretation Act, which would not exclude Saturdays from the expiry date as does rule 4(2).
