Step 1 - Which time limit applies. The judgment was served on the company at the plaintiff's initiative, so the short limit runs from service. Art. 518 par. 1 KPolD: the appeal is filed within 30 days from service of the judgment. The 30-day limit applies because the company is seated in Greece (Heraklion). The 60-day limit applies only to a party residing abroad or at an unknown address. The alternative limit of 2 years from publication (Art. 518 par. 2 KPolD) applies only if the judgment was never served. Publication on 2 July 2026 therefore does not start the 30 days.

Step 2 - Start of the count. Art. 144 par. 1 KPolD refers to the Civil Code for computing time limits, and Art. 241 Civil Code provides that the day of the triggering event is not counted. The service day, Thursday 16 July 2026, is excluded, and day 1 is Friday 17 July 2026.

Step 3 - Counting 30 days. Under Art. 240 and 242 Civil Code, a limit counted in days ends at the end of the last day. 16 July + 30 days gives 15 August 2026 (day 15 = 31 July, day 30 = 15 August). 15 August 2026 is a Saturday, and it is also the public holiday of the Dormition (Dekapentavgoustos).

Step 4 - Weekend and holiday extension. Art. 144 par. 3 KPolD: a limit that expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday is extended to the next working day. The next working day after Saturday 15 August is Monday 17 August 2026.

Step 5 - Judicial vacation. I do not treat the vacation period (1 July - 15 September) as suspending the 30-day appeal limit, so the count runs through it. Here the date comes out on Monday 17 August 2026 on the plain count.

Conclusion: the last day for filing the appeal is Monday 17 August 2026.

RESULT: deadline = 2026-08-17; rule = Art. 518 par. 1 KPolD (30 days from service) with Art. 144 par. 1 KPolD and Arts. 240-242 Civil Code (computation) and Art. 144 par. 3 KPolD (extension to next working day)
