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

Step 1 - The applicable deadline and its starting point
- Art. 518 para 1 KPolD (Greek Code of Civil Procedure, as amended by Law 4335/2015): the time limit for appeal is thirty (30) days if the appellant resides in Greece, running from service of the final judgment. Service by any party, including the opponent (here the plaintiff), triggers the deadline for the party on whom it was served.
- The company is seated in Heraklion, so it resides in Greece. The 30-day period applies, not the 60-day period for parties abroad or of unknown residence.
- Art. 518 para 2 KPolD (two years from publication if the judgment is not served) does not apply, because the judgment was served. Publication on 2 July 2026 therefore does not start the count.

Step 2 - Exclusion of the starting day
- Art. 144 para 1 KPolD, together with Art. 241 of the Civil Code, to which the KPolD refers for the computation of time: the day of the event that starts the period (the service, 16 July 2026) is not counted. The period ends when the last day ends.
- Day 1 = Friday 17 July 2026.

Step 3 - Counting until the August suspension
- 17 July to 31 July 2026 = 15 days counted (days 1-15).

Step 4 - Suspension during August
- Art. 147 para 2 KPolD: the time limits for filing legal remedies (appeal included) are suspended from 1 to 31 August.
- 1-31 August 2026 is not counted. 15 days remain.

Step 5 - Resumption and end of the period
- The count resumes on 1 September 2026: 1 to 15 September 2026 = days 16-30.
- Day 30 = Tuesday 15 September 2026.

Step 6 - Check for a holiday
- Art. 145 para 1 KPolD: if the last day is a public holiday, the deadline moves to the next working day.
- 15 September 2026 is a Tuesday and is not a public holiday, so no extension applies.

Conclusion: the appeal must be filed by Tuesday 15 September 2026 at the latest.
(Today, 17 October 2026, this deadline has already passed.)

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