ANNOTATION
Annotator's note. The following annotations include cases decided under former provisions similar to this section.
The word "month", wherever used in a statute, shall be construed to mean a calendar month. Daly v. Concordia Fire Ins. Co., 16 Colo. App. 349, 65 P. 416 (1901).
By analogy, therefore, it would be proper to construe the term in the same manner when used in contracts, and such is the general holding of the courts. Daly v. Concordia Fire Ins. Co., 16 Colo. App. 349, 65 P. 416 (1901).
And it has been expressly held that a calendar month beginning on a certain day expires on the corresponding day of the next month, if there be such a corresponding day. Daly v. Concordia Fire Ins. Co., 16 Colo. App. 349, 65 P. 416 (1901).
If there is no corresponding day then the calendar month expires on the last day of the succeeding month. Daly v. Concordia Fire Ins. Co., 16 Colo. App. 349, 65 P. 416 (1901).
For instance, one calendar month from January 15 would expire on February 15, but one calendar month from January 30 would expire on February 28 or 29, if the month contained so many days. Daly v. Concordia Fire Ins. Co., 16 Colo. App. 349, 65 P. 416 (1901).
Applied in Rowe v. Tucker, 38 Colo. App. 532, 560 P.2d 843 (1977).
