"But as I have observed, there seems to be a lot of flexibility on how the lawyers, courts, etc approach a case."
Maybe so. But that suggests that this form, which calls for absolutely nothing in the form of subjective essay material, can misrepresent or omit facts without impacting its ability to take immediate effect. And I have trouble with that.
But I understand this concern:
" I doubt if BK Court rule allow Involuntary BK proceedings against a subsidiary and a voluntary BK proceedings against the Parent plus Subsidiary. There seems to be a conflict."
re: "As far as attorney representation, I will not be surprised if it comes a day or two prior to 23 July."
Are you suggesting that filing a petition with an attorneys name , etc. on it.....a requirement of the instructions.....and making a mark in the area that calls for his signature yet which is clearly not, is fine with you?
I'm combining responses to 2 posts here.....ran out yesterday :o)
"And I think your Issues will be resolved."
That's the future tense you're using there, right?
And that's why the instructions and my post make these statements early in the going:
"This stay takes effect automatically, immediately upon the filing of a petition."
"Everything" is due within 14 days of the filing by law, hence the 7/23 date. That 2 week "extension" might be just what some folks were looking for when they filed. Denying the petition in two weeks, should that occur, could very well be critical to parties that sought to resolve certain issues during that period or, in the alternative, assure that certain issues remain unresolved.
We'll see.
BTW, re:"I believe everything is due 23 July 2010..... this includes all the schedules A-H, plus financial statements, attorney disclosures, etc."
As noted and per the Instructions: "If required, the debtor should check the box on page 2 and complete and attach the “Exhibit A” form." It was due with the petition.
