Three clear days definition
Three clear days means that the notice of a meeting must allow for three perfect intervening days. That means that you should not include the day of posting the notice or the day of the meeting. A meeting on a Friday requires the notice to be given on the preceding Monday, or sooner. If the meeting is to be on a Thursday, can the Notice be given on a Sunday? Probably not. Sections 243 and 270 of the Local Government Act 1972 will kick in, if the day when you have to do something, or the last day on which you can do something, is a Sunday, part of a bank holiday break (Easter, Christmas or a bank-holiday weekend) or a day of national thanksgiving or national mourning. If the meeting is to be on a Monday, can one of the “three perfect intervening days” be a Sunday? Yes, it probably can.
