I recived a summons to appear in court in 21 days is that business days or weekend days included?


Answers:
No-these are calendar days. The day of the notice does not count. You begin counting the days on the day after the notice was filed or dated. THIS IS NOT BUSINESS DAYS in the U.S.--so be careful. However, this is odd. There should be an exact date somewhere on the notice if it is to appear in court. If it's to do some act, then it could be 21 days. If this is not a U.S. question--ignore me completely.
Usually weekend are excluded, but check in your area for precise information.
The actual court date should be on your summons, in real small federal print-read slowly.
... and is that days and nights or only days?
That would vary from state to state, call the court clerk.

In the federal courts if the number of days is 11 or more it is calendar, if it is 10 or less it is business.
no,no,no it means moon days
There should be a date on the court paper that tells what day, time, etc to appear. I would say 21 business days, but with courts you never know. Call and ask to be on the safe side.
