Description
Measure a supplied continued hearing date's signed delay.
Justice records separate consent status, case identifiers, interpreter appointments, document versions and event clocks. A supplied time-string match does not establish a scheduling conflict, and a precision label does not anonymize a record. Local reimbursement and hearing-date arithmetic do not determine legal eligibility, compliance or appropriate action.
Measure a supplied continued hearing date's signed delay.
When to use this tool
Use Hearing Continuance Single Delay when you already have originalDate, continuedDate and need to measure a supplied continued hearing date's signed delay.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter originalDate, continuedDate. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read delayDays. Use the output convention below.
Parse real UTC YYYY-MM-DD dates; return continuedDate-originalDate in calendar days.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| originalDate | Original Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |
| continuedDate | Continued Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| delayDays | Continued-original date in calendar days; can be negative, with no business-day or legal rule. | Required. Safe integer. |

"originalDate": "2026-11-01",

"delayDays": 14
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- A negative delay is retained. No court record, business-day calendar, deadline, lawful continuance or actual proceeding is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check authoritative case, service, consent and scheduling records with the applicable rules for an actual justice matter. Verify timestamps, permissions and interpretation context; local labels and signed intervals do not establish legal effect, identity or a valid proceeding.
