AI Assist
Summary
Whenever the law uses the words "year" or "month", those periods are to be calculated according to the British calendar. That fixes how durations, deadlines and ages are measured, so months and years follow the British calendar and its leap-year rules.
Example
Ravi signs a lease saying rent is due 'within one month' of the notice. The month is counted by the British calendar, so the due date is the corresponding date in the next month as per that calendar.
Bare Act
Enacted textWherever the word “year” or the word “month” is used, it is to be understood that the year or the month is to be reckoned according to the British calendar.
