What Is a Business Day?

OREF Sale Agreements and ORS 696 define business days as days other than Saturday, Sunday, Federal legal holidays, and Oregon legal holidays. If a holiday falls on a Sunday the following Monday is observed as the legal holiday. If it falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday is the observed legal holiday.
