Full Text of § 995.050
Plain-English Summary
Deadlines in the Bond and Undertaking Law aren't necessarily fixed in stone. Section 995.050 opens them up to the same extension mechanism available for other civil deadlines: §§ 1054 and 1054.1. That reach extends beyond this chapter's own deadlines to cover time limits set by any other statute governing a bond given in an action or proceeding.
Practically, that means a party facing a filing deadline for a bond, an objection, or a supporting affidavit under this chapter isn't necessarily stuck if circumstances call for more time — the general extension procedure remains available.
