SUMMERS, Justice,
concurring.
Although I concur in the opinion and its common law underpinnings, I write separately to observe that the rule is also supported by 12 O.S.1991 § 2006A. That section provides for the computation of time prescribed by “this title, by the rules of any court, by order of the court, or by any applicable statute.” Had the legislature stopped after reference to “this title” (Title 12) I would concede the section’s inapplicability in this workers’ compensation case. But I consider the words “any applicable statute” broad enough to include Title 85.
I am authorized to report that Vice Chief Justice KAUGER, Justice LAVENDER and Justice SIMMS join in this view.
