When calculating time to present the appeal bond, does the court count the 10th day?

• A. Only if the 10th day is a weekday
• B. Yes
• C. No
• D. Only if it is a business day

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how deadlines are counted. Time to present an appeal bond is measured in calendar days, not just business days, unless a rule says otherwise. For a 10-day period, you start counting after the triggering event (such as the judgment) and include each day up to the tenth. So the court does count the 10th day in determining timeliness. If that tenth day lands on a weekend or holiday, local rules may affect how you actually file, but the counting itself includes that tenth day.
