<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">So then based on the Court’s description of 6(a) being about periods less than 7 days, I’m unclear if 6(a) contained the quoted language below in 2013 as it does now. (CR 6 indicates it was
amended on April 28, 2015. I cannot quickly find the history on CR 6, including what was amended in 2015.)</span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">But, in theory, if this sentence was added after
<i>Stover</i>, then (in theory), you have a harder case perhaps, because maybe the rule was amended to avoid
<i>Stover</i>-like outcomes or something: </span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“The last day of the period so computed shall be included, unless it is a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which is neither

<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">CR 6(a) applies to “any applicable statute.” Division I
<i>seems</i> to say the civil rules don’t apply anyhow, so never mind 6(a)’s time computation rules.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">So, it seems like “your” fight would be over whether the creditor’s lawsuit would be a TEDRA action (I assume so); whether Div. I was correct that those are “special proceedings” under CR
81(a) (I assume Div. I thinks it was correct); and whether, regardless of all that, no other
<b><u>statute</u></b> on the books would make any statutory deadline ending on a Sunday extend to the next court/business day.</span></p>

<b>Subject:</b> [WSBAPT] Does CR 6(a) give probate creditors an extra day to file a claim if the last day falls on a weekend</p>

For the first time I have a probate where the creditor deadline for filing a claim fell on a Sunday and the creditor filed the claim exactly one day late on the Monday. (The PR was served on time.) Before I have the PR reject the claim, can anyone verify that
CR 6(a) does not apply to the notice provisions of RCW 11.40.051 and 30 days means 30 days? I have seen some cases (ex. in re Stover) but nothing specifically on point.<br clear="all">
