Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 30 working-days
- Trigger
- The time when the application for the official search with priority is entered on the day list (LRR 2003, rule 148(1))
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
