Art. 763 Proceedings on holidays

A judge can decide to start or keep going with a trial or hearing even on a holiday or half-holiday. This means court isn't automatically closed just because it's a holiday. The decision is left up to the judge handling the case.

In practice, this gives courts flexibility to keep things moving instead of being forced to stop or delay proceedings just because of the calendar date. If you're involved in a case, this means you shouldn't assume your hearing will be pushed back simply because it falls on a holiday. Check with the court or your attorney to confirm whether your case will proceed as scheduled.
