The difference between the two occurs when the initiating event is on the last day of a calendar month, which has fewer days than the month in which the period ends.  For example, a period of 3 months from an event on 30 September ends on 30 December under this rule; it would end on 31 December under the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 provisions.
