Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Calculation of 15-day notice
A golf club has a Notice of Meetings Bylaw as follows:

Notice of Meetings. Notice of any meetings, annual or special, stating the place, day, and hour of the meeting, and whether it is annual or special, and in the case of a special meeting, stating the purpose or purposes thereof, shall be delivered to each Member either personally or by United States mail or by electronic mail not less than 15 nor more than 50 days before the date of the meeting.

If notice was sent on April 21 for a Meeting on May 5, was it in compliance with the Bylaw? The interval is less than 15 days, but if you count both end points, 15 different days are involved.

This was not the intent of the Bylaw, but it has been interpreted thusly in the specific case. Is this valid, arguable, or simply wrong?

Best regards

Re: Calculation of 15-day notice

You do not count the first day, so there are only 14 days notice in your example.
