Payments and other acts on public holidays etc
8 Payments and other acts on public holidays etc
No person is compellable to make a payment or do an act on a public holiday, bank holiday or Saturday that the person would not be compellable to make or do on a Sunday before the commencement of this
Act.
When, except for the provisions of this section, a person would be obliged to make a payment or do an act on a public holiday, bank holiday or
Saturday, the obligation applies to the next day following that is not a public holiday, bank holiday or Saturday, and payment or performance on that day will be due payment of the money or performance of the act, but nothing in this Act exempts a person from making a payment or doing an act on a public holiday, bank holiday or Saturday that the person is by law specially required to make or do on that day.
A reference in this section to a public holiday does not include a
part‑day public holiday.
If a bank half holiday is proclaimed under section 7(2)(c), this section applies in relation to the day on which that half holiday occurs as if the whole of that day had been proclaimed a bank holiday.
