Notwithstanding any provision in this title, if an act is authorized or required to be performed at or within a specified period pursuant to this chapter:
1.
The period may be extended upon the agreement of all interested persons, by written stipulation of counsel filed in the action; or
2.
The court, for good cause shown, may at any time:
(a)
Regardless of whether there has been a motion, petition or notice, order that the period be extended if a request for the extension is made before the expiration of the specified period as originally prescribed or as extended by a previous order; or
(b)
Upon a motion made after the expiration of the specified period, authorize a person to perform the act if the failure to perform the act in a timely manner was the result of excusable neglect.NOTICES
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
