This new fourth edition of Bankruptcy Deadline Checklist is a quick reference guide for anyone who deals with a bankruptcy case including bankruptcy judges, lawyers, paralegals, credit managers, collection agents, professors, law students and others participating in bankruptcy cases or study. It has been updated to incorporate relevant Code and Rule changes. The Checklist incorporates the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 and other amendments to the code through August 31, 2009, as well as the corresponding rules adopted by the Supreme Court, which became effective as of December 1, 2009, and should prove useful in learning the extensive changes contained in the most material revision of the Code since the 1978 enactment. The Checklist also incorporates the amendments to the Code contained in the Statutory Time-Periods Technical Amendments Act of 2009, Pub.L. 111-16, Stat. 1607, H.R. 1626, as well as amendments to the Rules on the Computation of time.
The Checklist is organized by chapter of the Bankruptcy Code (i.e., 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and 15), and, within each chapter, by Code section, with additional sections covering those items typically needed upon the filing of a case, rules on adversary proceedings, appeals, and notices. Due to the minimal number of Chapter 9 and 12 cases filed, deadlines under those Chapters are not included. The Checklist is meant to be a list of all of the potential deadlines in a case; it certainly is not necessary (and indeed would be unlikely) to use each deadline in a particular case. To use the Checklist, simply look up the relevant Code section(s), which appear in numerical order and in the Index. Cross references for applicable Rules are provided. Code sections or Rules in bold designate the primary section or Rule containing the relevant deadline. Each deadline in the Checklist has a corresponding space for the insertion of a due date, so that the user may calculate and maintain a master list of deadlines in each case if that is desired.
