How the 15-day period is calculated
Part one of Article 170 of the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine gives the debtor the right to apply to set aside a court order within 15 days of receiving a copy of the order and its attachments.
The general rule for procedural time limits is that the period starts on the day after the relevant date or event. If the last day falls on a weekend or another non-working day, the deadline moves to the first working day.
The calculator does not check proof of service or official public holidays, and does not automatically determine whether there are grounds to renew a missed deadline.
Calculation methodology
Methodology for calculating the 15-day period
Use the date the debtor was actually served with the copy of the court order and attached documents.
We start counting the period on the day after service.
Add 15 calendar days and move a Saturday or Sunday to Monday.
Public holidays, proof of service, and possible renewal of the deadline are checked separately.
Example
Calculation example
The debtor in Lviv received a copy of the court order on April 1, 2026.
- Service date: 01.04.2026
- Deadline under the Civil Procedure Code: 15 days
Estimated last day to apply for cancellation: April 16, 2026.
If the service date is disputed or the deadline has passed, evidence and possibly an application to renew the deadline are needed.
What to check in the documents
- A copy of the court order, the attached documents, and the date it was actually served.
- Postal notice, electronic court account, or other proof of delivery.
- Grounds for objections to the claimant’s demand.
- Is a motion to reinstate the time limit needed?
Frequently asked questions
From what date should the 15 days be counted?
Use the date the debtor was served with the copy of the court order and attachments. Article 170 of the Civil Procedure Code ties the deadline to apply for cancellation to this event.
Why does the calculator start counting from the following day?
Because procedural periods under the Civil Procedure Code are counted from the day after the event that starts them. For this tool, that event is service of a copy of the order.
Are public holidays taken into account?
Only Saturdays and Sundays are accounted for automatically. Official public holidays, other non-working days and the court’s actual operating schedule must be checked separately.
What to do if the time limit has already expired?
Need to assess whether an application to renew the deadline can be filed with the application to cancel the court order and add evidence of valid reasons.
Is this a final legal opinion?
No. This is a guide for checking the time limit yourself. Before filing, a lawyer should review the case materials, proof of service, and procedural details.
