Calendar Days Legal

The General Construction Act (of New York) defines a calendar day as the hour from midnight to midnight. Nevertheless, the courts will one day take note of fractions if there are competing rights for the determination of which it is necessary for them to do so. Section 2(19) of the General Building Act of 2010 of New York defines a calendar day as follows: “Sunday or any day of the week specifically mentioned means a calendar day.” `[T]he calendar day shall indicate a full period of twenty-four hours … » Calendar days. This literally means days as opposed to working days or a work week, which would normally consist of five days. In Guillory, however, Louisiana Supreme Court Justice Blanche preferred a definition of a “full 24-hour period,” even if expressed in the context of a particular law: “As a general rule, the court does not consider fractions of a day except to protect against injustice. This interpretation was repeated in the 1940 Lanni v Grimes case, in which Justice Lapham of the New York Supreme Court for Monroe County had before him the 1940 version of this legal definition, writing: “The law does not take into account fractions of a day, except in cases where the time itself is essential, as in the case of: in which it is the priority of judgments.
