STEP-BY-STEP COUNT (Greek Code of Civil Procedure, KPolD, as in force October 2026)

1. Remedy and court. The judgment is a final first-instance judgment of the Multi-Member Court of First Instance (ordinary procedure). It is appealable to the Court of Appeal (arts. 511 and 513 par. 1 KPolD).

2. Length of the period. The appeal period is 30 days from service of the judgment when the party serving or the party served resides in Greece (art. 518 par. 1 KPolD, as amended by Law 4335/2015). The 60-day period applies only if the party resides abroad or at an unknown address. The company is seated in Heraklion, so 30 days applies.

3. Starting event. The period runs from service of the judgment, not from its publication (art. 518 par. 1 KPolD). Service was made on 16 July 2026, at the plaintiff's initiative.
   - The 2-year period from publication (art. 518 par. 2 KPolD) applies only to a judgment that is not served. Here it would end on 2 July 2028, so it is irrelevant.

4. First day counted. The day of service is not counted, and counting starts the next day (art. 241 Civil Code, applied to civil procedure deadlines by art. 144 KPolD). Day 1 is therefore 17 July 2026.

5. Count of 30 days. A period counted in days ends at the end of the last day (art. 242 Civil Code). Day 1 is 17 July, so 15 days run to 31 July. Day 16 is 1 August and day 30 is 15 August 2026.

6. Check of the last day. 16 July 2026 is a Thursday, so 15 August 2026 is a Saturday. It is also the public holiday of the Dormition of the Theotokos. If the last day is a Saturday, a Sunday or a public holiday, the period extends to the next working day (art. 243 Civil Code, applied through art. 144 KPolD).
   - 16 August is a Sunday.
   - 17 August 2026 is a Monday and a working day.

7. Judicial vacations. I assumed the 1 July to 15 September judicial vacation does not suspend or extend this appeal period once service has been made. I am not fully certain of this. If the vacation did extend the period, the date would be later, so 17 August is the conservative date to file by.

CONCLUSION: the last day to file the appeal is Monday 17 August 2026.

RESULT: deadline = 2026-08-17; rule = art. 518 par. 1 KPolD (30 days from service), with art. 241-243 Civil Code via art. 144 KPolD
