Question: last day 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 the losing company (seated in Greece) on Thursday 16 July 2026, at the plaintiff's initiative.

Step 1 - Which deadline applies.
The judgment was served, and service was made at the initiative of the opposing party. That is the service that starts the short time limit, so the short limit governs.
Rule: Article 518 paragraph 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure (KPolD). If the appellant lives or has its seat in Greece, the appeal deadline is 30 days from service of the final judgment. Alkyon has its seat in Heraklion, so it gets 30 days, not 60.
The long limit of Article 518 paragraph 2 (two years from publication) applies only where there is no service, so it is not relevant here. The 2 July publication date is not used in the count.

Step 2 - Start of the count.
Rule: Article 144 paragraph 1 KPolD. The day of the event that starts a time limit is not counted. Service took place on 16 July 2026, so day 1 is Friday 17 July 2026.

Step 3 - Days running in July.
17 July to 31 July 2026 inclusive is 15 days. 15 of the 30 days have run, and 15 remain.

Step 4 - Suspension in August (judicial vacation).
Rule: Article 147 paragraph 2 KPolD, as in force since Law 4335/2015. From 1 to 31 August, the time limits for filing legal remedies (including the appeal) are suspended. No days run from 1 to 31 August 2026, and the count picks up again on 1 September 2026.

Step 5 - Remaining days in September.
The 15 remaining days run from Tuesday 1 September 2026, so day 30 is Tuesday 15 September 2026.

Step 6 - End of the time limit, and whether the last day moves.
Rule: Article 144 paragraph 1 KPolD. The time limit ends when the last day ends.
Rule: Article 145 KPolD. If the last day is a public holiday (or Saturday or Sunday), the limit moves to the next working day.
15 September 2026 is a Tuesday and not a public holiday in Greece, so no extension applies.

Conclusion: the appeal must be filed by the end of Tuesday 15 September 2026. Under Articles 495 paragraph 1 and 511 KPolD, it is filed with the registry of the court that issued the judgment, the Multi-Member Court of First Instance of Heraklion. The deadline is 30 days from service under Article 518 paragraph 1 KPolD, with August suspended under Article 147 paragraph 2 KPolD.

Note: today is 17 October 2026, so this deadline has already passed. An appeal filed now would be out of time. Restoration to the previous state under Articles 152 and following of the KPolD is possible only if the company can prove force majeure or deceit (fraud).

RESULT: deadline = 2026-09-15; rule = Article 518 paragraph 1 KPolD (30 days from service), with Article 147 paragraph 2 KPolD (August suspension) and Article 144 paragraph 1 KPolD
