name: deadline-tracker
description: Calculate and track Kosovo court and procedural deadlines for an advocate — civil appeal (15 days), civil revision (30 days), criminal appeal (30 days under CPC 08/L-032), administrative-dispute lawsuit (30 days), and reply periods, all counted from the date of service/receipt. Trigger with "when is the appeal due", "calculate the deadline", "we got served on [date]", "deadline for revision", "how long to appeal this judgment", "track deadlines for [matter]". Do NOT use as a substitute for checking the statute and the file — it computes candidate dates that the advocate must verify.

# /deadline-tracker

Compute the procedural deadlines a Kosovo advocate must not miss, counted from the date of **service or receipt**. This is a calculator and a checklist — it does not replace reading the current statute, the judgment, and the file. Missing a deadline is malpractice; treat every result as "verify before relying."

## Usage

```
/deadline-tracker $ARGUMENTS
```

Examples:
- `/deadline-tracker civil judgment served 12.05.2026, when is the appeal due?`
- `/deadline-tracker revision deadline, second-instance judgment received 02.05.2026`
- `/deadline-tracker criminal appeal, judgment served 28.04.2026`
- `/deadline-tracker administrative dispute, final decision delivered 15.05.2026`
- `/deadline-tracker track all deadlines for the Krasniqi matter`

## What the skill needs

1. **The remedy / deadline type** (civil appeal, civil revision, criminal appeal, reply, administrative lawsuit…).
2. **The trigger date** — the date of **service or receipt** of the decision (not the date the decision was issued).
3. **The forum** (which court / instance), and the disputed value for civil revision.

If the trigger date is ambiguous ("we think around the 12th"), say the deadline is provisional and tell the advocate to confirm the service date from the file.

## Deadline table (Kosovo)

All periods run from **service/receipt**. Confirm against the in-force statute; flagged items have known ambiguity.

| Remedy / step | Period | Basis | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Civil appeal** vs first-instance judgment | **15 days** | Law on Contested Procedure 03/L-006 | Suspends execution if timely |
| **Civil revision** to Supreme Court (extraordinary) | **30 days** from receipt of 2nd-instance judgment | LCP | Generally not allowed if disputed value ≤ **€3,000** (exceptions: maintenance, loss-of-provider damages, employment-termination) |
| **Criminal appeal** vs judgment | **30 days** under current **CPC 08/L-032** | CPC | ⚠️ Older CPC 04/L-123 used **15 days**; many sources still cite 15. Confirm which code governs. |
| **Reply to criminal appeal** | **15 days** from service of the appeal | CPC | |
| **Administrative lawsuit** vs final administrative act | **30 days** from delivery of the act | Law 08/L-182 (in force Jan 2024) | |
| **Appeal** vs first-instance administrative-dispute verdict | **15 days** from receipt | Law 08/L-182 | |

**Statute of limitations** (substantive, not procedural): governed by LMD 04/L-077 — general contractual limitation commonly cited at 10 years with shorter special periods. **Exact periods unconfirmed — verify; do not state a limitation date as settled.**

## How it counts

```
Trigger (service/receipt) date:  [DD.MM.YYYY]
+ statutory period:              [N days]
= raw deadline:                  [DD.MM.YYYY]

Weekend/holiday rule: if the last day falls on a non-working day, the deadline
generally moves to the next working day — CONFIRM this rule and the official
holiday list for the period; the skill flags it, the advocate confirms.

→ FILE BY: [DD.MM.YYYY]   (with a safety buffer, aim to file [2–3] days earlier)
```

Always present:
- The trigger date used and where it came from.
- The statutory period and its basis.
- The computed deadline **and** a recommended earlier filing target.
- An explicit "verify" line for the weekend/holiday adjustment and the governing statute.

## Matter view (track all deadlines)

When asked to track a whole matter, produce a small table the advocate can paste into their calendar:

```
MATTER: [name]            As of: [today]

Event                         Trigger date   Period   Deadline    File by
First-instance judgment       12.05.2026     15 d     27.05.2026  25.05.2026
(If appealed) appeal reply    —              15 d     —           —
...
```

Offer to restate it as calendar entries.

## What this skill does NOT do

- **Not legal advice and not a guarantee.** It computes candidate dates; the advocate confirms the governing statute, the exact service date, and holiday adjustments.
- **Does not know which CPC governs** a given criminal case — it flags the 30-day (current) vs 15-day (old) ambiguity for the advocate to resolve.
- **Does not track substantive limitation periods as settled** — LMD periods need verification.
- **Does not file or docket anything** — it produces the dates; docketing is the firm's act.

## Tips

1. **Always anchor on service/receipt**, never the judgment's issue date — this is the most common error.
2. **Give a buffer.** Recommend filing 2–3 days early; couriers, e-filing outages, and holidays eat deadlines.
3. **State your assumptions and the source.** "Counted 15 days from service on 12.05 under LCP 03/L-006."
4. **Flag the criminal-appeal ambiguity every time** — 30 days under CPC 08/L-032 vs 15 under the old code.
5. **Re-check after any new service** — each served decision restarts a clock.
