<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">(Go figure the concept of “special proceedings” making 6(e)’s “3-day for mail rule”
<u>not</u> apply in TEDRA matters. Great! Surprising; weird; but great! Estates get “greater finality” than non-estates, by a measure of a few days. Why not?)</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in"><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><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in"><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

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">CR 6(a) applies to “any applicable statute.” Division I

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in"><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><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in">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">
