Business days are those in which the CAM-CCBC is open for business. In the case of notifications, communications or other acts performed on a day when the CAM-CCBC is not open for business, these will be considered as performed on the subsequent business day.
Likewise, deadlines due on a day when the CAM-CCBC is not open for business shall be postponed to the first subsequent[5] business day, pursuant to Article 6.6.2[6] of the CAM-CCBC Rules.
On an exceptional basis, Emergency Arbitrator Proceedings ruled by Administrative Resolutions No. 32/2018[7] and 44/2020[8] may be continued and have deadlines due on a non-business day (meaning, a day when the CAM-CCBC is not open for business).
In addition, to better organize the works, we also communicate that CAM-CCBC will be in recess from December 21, 2022, until January 4, 2023. All deadlines will be suspended during such period and shall resume on January 5, 2023.
| Recess | Date | Week Day |
| Start | 12/21/2022 | Wednesday |
| End | 01/04/2023 | Wednesday |

São Paulo, 16 December 2022.
Eleonora Coelho
President of the CAM-CCBC
[1] The headquarters of Sao Paulo is used as reference for the definition of business days of the CAM-CCBC, even though there is also a CAM-CCBC office in Rio de Janeiro.
[2] Despite the anticipation of the holidays of Sao Paulo Anniversary (January) and Corpus Christi (June) by the Government of Sao Paulo, CAM-CCBC maintained its operations on those dates, as per the Communication of the Presidency dated of March 22nd, 2021. Thus, CAM-CCBC will not be open for business on such dates in 2022.
[3] See footnote 2.
[4] See footnote 2.
[5] Thus, if – for example – a notification is received on a non-business day, such as on a Saturday or a Sunday, then for purposes of time counting it will be deemed to have been received on the subsequent business day, usually a Monday.
[6] CAM-CCBC Rules, Article 6.6.2. A time period will be considered to extend to the next business day if it expires on a day during which the CAM-CCBC is not open for business.
