Question: last day for the company (seated in Heraklion, Greece) to appeal the final judgment of the Multi-Member Court of First Instance of Heraklion, published 2 July 2026 and served on the company at the plaintiff's initiative on Thursday 16 July 2026.

Step 1 - Which deadline applies (CCP Art. 518 para 1)
Art. 518 para 1 CCP: if the appellant resides (has its seat) in Greece, the deadline for an appeal is thirty (30) days and runs from the service of the judgment that ends the proceedings. The service may be made by any party (here, the winning plaintiff). Service starts the period for the party served. The company is seated in Heraklion, so the 30-day period applies, not the 60-day period for a party abroad or of unknown residence.
The long deadline of Art. 518 para 2 CCP (two years from publication, used only when there is no service) does not apply, because the judgment was served. Publication on 2 July 2026 is therefore not the starting point.

Step 2 - Start of the count (CCP Art. 144 para 1)
Art. 144 para 1 CCP: the day of the event that starts the deadline (here, service on 16 July 2026) is not counted. The period starts on the next day, Friday 17 July 2026, and ends when the whole of the last day has passed.
Days run before the suspension: 17 July to 31 July 2026 = 15 days. 15 days remain.

Step 3 - August suspension (CCP Art. 147 para 2)
Art. 147 para 2 CCP: deadlines for filing legal remedies (ένδικα μέσα), including an appeal, are suspended from 1 to 31 August. The period does not run from 1 August to 31 August 2026 and resumes on 1 September 2026.

Step 4 - Running the remaining days (CCP Art. 518 para 1 with Art. 144 para 1)
The remaining 15 days run from 1 September to 15 September 2026. The deadline expires at the end of Tuesday 15 September 2026.

Step 5 - Holiday check (CCP Art. 145)
Under Art. 145 CCP, a deadline that ends on a public holiday is extended to the next working day. 15 September 2026 is a Tuesday and is not a public holiday, so the deadline is not extended.

Conclusion: the appeal must be filed, under CCP Art. 495, with the registry of the court that issued the judgment (the Multi-Member Court of First Instance of Heraklion) no later than Tuesday 15 September 2026. Under Art. 518 para 1 CCP the deadline is 30 days from service. Art. 144 para 1 excludes the day of service from the count, and Art. 147 para 2 suspends the period during August.

RESULT: deadline = 2026-09-15; rule = CCP Art. 518 para 1 (with Art. 144 para 1 and Art. 147 para 2)
