Payment of a bill of exchange due on a legal holiday may only be demanded on the first working day thereafter. Similarly, all other acts relating to the bill of exchange, in particular presentation for acceptance and protest, may only be performed on a working day.
Where one of these acts must be performed within a certain period, the last day of which is a legal public holiday, that period is extended until the first working day following its expiry. Intermediate public holidays are included in the calculation of the period.
