TITLE 15 COURTS

Section 11. Juvenile Code, 15-11-1 through 15-11-747.

ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

15-11-5. Computations of time.

  1. When a period of time measured in days, weeks, months, years, or other measurements of time is prescribed for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge of any duty, the first day shall not be counted but the last day shall be counted; and, if the last day falls on a weekend, the party having such privilege or duty shall have through the following business day to exercise such privilege or discharge such duty.
  2. When the last day prescribed for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge of any duty falls on a public and legal holiday as set forth in Code Section 1-4-1, the party having such privilege or duty shall have through the next business day to exercise such privilege or discharge such duty.
  3. When the period of time prescribed is less than seven days, intermediate weekends and legal holidays shall be excluded in the computation.

(Code 1981, §15-11-5, enacted by Ga. L. 2013, p. 294, § 1-1/HB 242; Ga. L. 2014, p. 780, § 1-2/SB 364.)

The 2014 amendment, effective April 28, 2014, deleted "except hours" preceding "is prescribed" near the beginning of subsection (a).

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Weekend days excluded.

- Trial court properly denied the defendant juvenile's motion to dismiss because the delinquency petition, which was filed on the Tuesday after the Thursday on which the defendant was detained, was timely filed since the 72-hour period was clearly less than seven days and the weekend days were excluded from computation. In the Interest of C. M. B., 335 Ga. App. 456, 781 S.E.2d 570 (2016).
