Task guide
Holidays, court vacations and firm closures
The one calendar that says which days nobody works, which every deadline count and the diary read.
What it holds
- Public holidays, for the current and the next year, including those declared at short notice.
- Court vacations, each saying which courts it binds.
- Firm closures, such as the days between Christmas and the new year.
A deadline counted in business days skips these, and a count against the days the courts sit skips the vacations that bind that court.
Add a day
- Open Settings, then Calendar.
- Add the holiday, vacation or closure with its dates and, for a vacation, the courts it binds.
