Section 46 para. 2 GOG/BL

Unusual provision regarding the running of deadlines: "Days on which the offices of the cantonal administration are closed all day are also considered public holidays within the meaning of this provision."

[SEG 17]

The consequence is that, although it is not actually a public holiday, the deadline is nevertheless extended by that day (if the end of the deadline falls on it), for example, due to such a compensation day and the resulting closure of the cantonal administration's offices.
