Responsa for Bekhorot 97:28
בנו קודמו שמצותו על אביו ומצות בנו עליו:
for Samuel said: The law is in accordance with the authority who is lenient in matters of mourning.
Teshuvot Maharam
If a man heard about the death of his parent on the thirtieth day after such death, he must observe the seven days of strict mourning and the thirty days of mourning. But if he heard on the thirtieth day which was a Sabbath day or a holiday, he must observe only one day.
