What is the name of your state? IL
Here's the conundrum:
quoth a Federal Statutory Law: "the period for institution of suits [is] to be computed from the day when the death or injury occurred."
quoth the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure: “In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by these rules, by the local rules of any district court, by order of the court, or by any applicable statutes, the day of the act, event or default from which the designated period of time begins to runs shall not be included.”
I'm confused
Which method of computing time does the court go with? It's not an Eerie problem, because both are federal. It's not really a horizontal law conflict either.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
