The presentation and protest of a cheque may only be made on a business day.
Where the last day of the period set for the performance of the acts relating to the cheque, and in particular for the presentation or for the drawing up of the protest, is a public holiday, this period is extended until the first working day following its expiry. Intermediate public holidays are included in the calculation of the period.
Statutory holidays include days on which, under the provisions in force, no payment may be demanded and no protest drawn up.
