Legal Definitions - clear day

A clear day is a full, consecutive day between the start and end date of a period, where no events or interruptions occur. For example, if a contract requires a party to give five clear days of notice before a hearing, the party must give notice at least five full days before the hearing, excluding the start and end dates.

Examples:

• If a hearing is scheduled for the 10th of the month, the party giving notice must do so by the 4th of the month to provide five clear days of notice.
• If a contract requires 30 clear days of notice before termination, the party must give notice at least 30 full days before the termination date, excluding the start and end dates.

These examples illustrate that a clear day is a full day without any interruptions or events that could affect the calculation of a period. It ensures that parties have sufficient time to prepare and respond to notices or events.
