Unification of the rules for calculating terms in the civil procedure

The author addresses the topic of unification of the rules for calculating procedural terms, considering this legal institution as one of the points of convergence of the branches of the civil procedure. Before the procedural reform of 2019, the norms of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation and the Code of Administrative Procedure of the Russian Federation did not provide for the exclusion of non-working days from the period calculated in days, which, as shown in the publication, led to the objective impossibility of observing some particularly short deadlines for the court to perform important procedural actions. The borrowing from the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation of a more progressive norm in this regard eliminates the indicated drawback and contributes to an increase in the efficiency of public justice in general.
