The last day of the appeal period.
You record the service date and the period; HukukBis finds the last day under HMK art. 92 and 93 and moves it to the first working day when it meets a holiday. The result stays in the file and the agenda with a countdown.

Calendar
The calendar from service to last day
The product’s deadline engine works out the days on the calendar, and the free calculator runs the same engine. The days it skips are the days the engine skips.

Steps of the calculation
Service date
Basis
HMK art. 92–93
How the due date is calculated
The calculation follows the same rules as the product’s deadline engine and applies them in order: first the raw end, then the holiday rollover, last the judicial recess extension.
- 1/7
The start date is the service day and is not counted; a period set in days begins to run the next day (HMK art. 92/1).
- 2/7
Weeks, months and years end on the day that corresponds to the start day. When the ending month has no such day, the period ends on the last day of that month: a one-month period starting on 31 January runs out on the last day of February (HMK art. 92/2).
- 3/7
Public holidays are part of the period. If the last day falls on a weekend or public holiday, the period ends at the end of working hours on the first working day after it (HMK art. 93). The fixed holidays, the 3 days of Ramazan Bayrami and the 4 days of Kurban Bayrami are defined for 2024–2030.
- 4/7
In matters subject to the judicial recess, a period that ends between 20 July and 31 August is extended by one week from the day the recess ends and ends on 7 September; if that day is a day off too it rolls over to the first working day (HMK art. 102–104). The urgent matters in HMK art. 103 are not extended.
- 5/7
If the last day is a half-day holiday eve, the date is not rolled over; the record shows a warning and suggests filing before noon on the eve as a precaution.
- 6/7
Some administrative and contractual periods are counted in business days: in this mode Saturdays and Sundays, and optionally public holidays, are skipped.
- 7/7
The holiday calendar covers 2024–2030; for a calculation that runs outside that range the system does not guess, it returns an error.
Inside a firm, deadline arithmetic is often done from a paper calendar, and the margin for error grows in holiday weeks and during the judicial recess. The system applies the same rule to every record in the same way; everyone on the team sees the same date, and nobody has to memorise a table for holidays, weekends or the recess.
Service rules and how the service date is determined are not part of the calculation; for holiday eves no firm rollover is made, only a warning is shown. The calculated date is a record-keeping aid, not a legal opinion or a binding determination of a deadline; the final decision is the lawyer’s. To check a period against the statute, see the guide to appeal and cassation deadlines in Turkey.
Example: a two-week appeal that meets a religious holiday
Start a two-week appeal period for a decision served on May 15, 2026. The period runs out on May 29, 2026, the day that corresponds to the day of service; that day falls in Kurban Bayrami (Eid al-Adha), and a weekend follows the holiday. The period ends at the end of working hours on June 1, 2026, the first working day. Had the same period started on July 10, 2026 in a matter subject to the judicial recess, the period running out on July 24, 2026 would be extended by one week from the day the recess ends, and the due date would be September 7, 2026; you can make the same comparison with your own dates in the calculator.
The example was calculated with the 2024–2030 holiday calendar and the rules of HMK art. 92–93 and 102–104.
Deadline types
What goes into a legal deadline record?
Each deadline belongs to a case and sits in the deadlines tab of the case detail. As the start date you enter the date of service printed on the decision or notification. You can pick the period from ready-made options (civil appeal and cassation, statement of defence, filing an administrative action, objection to a payment order, criminal appeal and cassation) or set the unit and the length yourself. For the file that carries the deadline, see the case management software page.
Record fields
- Deadline type
- Appeal, cassation, objection, response period or evidence submission.
- Start date
- The date of service on the decision or notification.
- Unit and length
- Days, weeks, months, years or business days; from a ready-made period or typed in.
- Judicial recess
- Subject or not; switches on the HMK art. 104 extension.
- Status
- Kept up to date while the period is tracked.
- Description
- The reasoning or a note on the document concerned.
- 01/05
Appeal
Two weeks from service of the decision (HMK art. 345). Appeal periods in administrative, enforcement and criminal proceedings are ready-made options too.
- 02/05
Cassation
HMK and CMK cassation applications run two weeks and İYUK cassation thirty days; all come as ready-made periods.
- 03/05
Objection
Seven days for an objection to a payment order, one week for an objection to a precautionary measure, two weeks for an objection to a judge’s decision in criminal proceedings.
- 04/05
Response period
Two weeks from service of the statement of claim (HMK art. 127); the answer to an appeal petition is two weeks as well (HMK art. 347).
- 05/05
Evidence submission
For periods set by the judge you type the unit and the length yourself, so unusual periods get a record too.
The status field helps you track the period; the description field is for noting the reasoning or the document concerned. A deadline lives inside the file, so when a case passes from one lawyer to another the deadline is handed over with it.
Agenda
How deadlines connect to the agenda, dashboard and notifications
A saved deadline shows in the agenda next to hearings, and stands out with a countdown in the upcoming items area of the dashboard, so you see which deadline is approaching without opening the file. The status of the record can be kept up to date, and reminders reach the team by in-app message, email, SMS, WhatsApp and push; the channels are described on the notifications page.
For a deeper read on periods see the appeal and cassation deadlines guide, and for how a single practitioner works see the solo lawyer solution.

Questions
What do people ask about deadline calculation?
- 01/06
Which holidays are taken into account?
Saturdays and Sundays, 1 January, 23 April, 1 May, 19 May, 15 July, 30 August and 29 October, the 3 days of Ramazan Bayrami and the 4 days of Kurban Bayrami count as holidays. Public holidays are part of the period; only when the last day falls on one does the period roll over to the first working day (HMK art. 93). In business-day mode these days are not counted.
- 02/06
Is the judicial recess taken into account?
Yes. When “subject to the judicial recess” is ticked on the record, a period that ends between 20 July and 31 August is extended by one week from the day the recess ends and ends on 7 September (HMK art. 104). The urgent matters in HMK art. 103 are not extended; for those you clear the tick.
- 03/06
Are holiday eves taken into account?
An eve is not rolled over. If the last day falls on a half-day eve the record shows a warning; because it is disputed in practice whether the eve extends the period, filing before noon on the eve is suggested as a precaution.
- 04/06
Which years are supported?
The holiday calendar covers 2024–2030. When the end or a rollover day falls outside that range the system returns an error. In business-day mode, if you do not exclude holidays only weekends are skipped and no year limit applies.
- 05/06
Will I be warned before a deadline runs out?
Upcoming deadlines stand out with a countdown in the dashboard agenda. Reminders are sent by in-app message, email, SMS, WhatsApp and push; setting up the channels is described on the notifications page.
- 06/06
Which date should I start the period from?
That depends on the type of period and the statute; most often the date of service or of learning of the decision is used. HukukBis takes the date you enter as the start, does not count that day and lets the period run from the next day. The accuracy of the date and of the type of period is the user’s responsibility.
