Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. Guide to LA FOIP, Chapter 5, Third Party Information. Updated 22 February 2023. 102 (3) A period described by reference to a number of days between two events excludes the day on which the first event happens and includes the day on which the second event happens. (4) In the calculation of time expressed as a number of clear days, weeks, months or years or as “at least” or “not less than” a number of days, weeks, months or years, the first and last days are excluded. (5) A time limit for the doing of anything that falls or expires on a holiday is extended to include the next day that is not a holiday. (6) A time limit for registering or filing documents or for doing anything else that falls or expires on a day on which the place for doing so is not open during its regular hours of business is extended to include the next day the place is open during its regular hours of business. … (8) A period expressed as one or more consecutive years beginning or ending on, at, with, before, after or from a specified day is counted to the same date as the specified day in the last or first year of the period, as the case requires. (9) If a period would end on a date in a month that has no date numerically corresponding to the first date in the period, the period ends on the first day of the next month.226 Based on this, the following can be applied for calculating “one year after being given written notice of the decision of the head” or of the deemed refusal: • The first day the notice is given is excluded in the calculation of time [s. 2-28(2)]. • If the due date falls on a holiday, the time is extended to the next day that is not a holiday [s. 2-28(5)]. • If the due date falls on a weekend, the time is extended to the next day the office is open [s. 2-28(6)]. • As LA FOIP expresses the time as one year, this is interpreted as 365 calendar days, not business days [s. 2-28(8)]. 226 The Legislation Act, SS 2019, c L-10.2 at s. 2-28.
