What is the test for exceptions to general rule in computing time?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Shalabi v. City of Fontana, 11 Cal.5th 842, 280 Cal.Rptr.3d 597, 489 P.3d 714 (Cal. 2021):

policy concerns, we held that "[b]efore a given case will be deemed to come under an exception to the general rule the intention must be clearly expressed that a different method of computation was provided for." ( Id. at p. 595, 299 P. 713 ; see also In re Rodriguez (1964) 60 Cal.2d 822, 825826, 36 Cal.Rptr. 609, 388 P.2d 881.) Put differently: "Consistent with the need for certainty in the method of computing time, a case will not be found to come under an exception to the general rule unless there is a clear expression of provision for a different method of computation." ( DeLeon v. Bay Area Rapid Transit Dist. (1983) 33 Cal.3d 456, 460461, 189 Cal.Rptr. 181, 658 P.2d 108.)
