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.

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 22^nd, 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.
