Named assumptions
The period ends on the anniversary date: the same day and month, two years on.
Breaks if: Counsel applies a different computation, for example excluding the first day or ending the day before the anniversary.
A statutory deadline that falls on a holiday rolls to the next business day; the calendar still shows the earlier date.
Breaks if: Counsel confirms the Legislation Act, 2006 section reads differently for this deadline.
