A quick definition of rule day:

A rule day is a specific day on which a defendant must appear in court, file an answer, or return a proof of service or writ of execution. It is also known as a return day. A day is a 24-hour period that starts at midnight and ends at the next midnight. It can also refer to the period between sunrise and sunset, or any specified time period. Different types of days include business days, calendar days, and quarter days.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Rule day refers to the day on which a defendant must appear in court, file an answer, or return a proof of service or writ of execution. It is a specific day designated by law for a particular legal action.

Example: In a lawsuit, the answer day is the last day for a defendant to file and serve a responsive pleading. This day is usually within 20 days after being served with the summons and complaint, or within 60 days after the request for waiver was sent if the defendant timely waives service at the plaintiff's request.

This example illustrates how the answer day is a specific day designated by law for a defendant to respond to a lawsuit. Failure to respond on this day can result in a default judgment against the defendant.
