An admitted acknowledgment of liability can give rise to a fresh starting point of limitation, and the court-closure rule applies when the last day falls on a weekend and filing is made on the reopening day. The tribunal also clarified that the default-proof requirement is not confined to information-utility records: prima facie disclosure of debt and default may be shown through balance-sheet admissions and the debtor's written statement.
