Form 16D

(Added Mar. 14, 1995; amended Dec. 1, 2004.)

Notes of Advisory Committee on Rules-1995

This form of caption may be used in an adversary proceeding when section 342(c) of the Code, as added by the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994, is not applicable.

Committee Notes on Rules-2004 Amendment

This form is amended to reflect the 2003 abrogation of Form 16C. As a complaint initiating an adversary proceeding serves as a notice to the defendant of the filing of an action, a debtor filing an adversary proceeding must follow the notice requirements of §342(c) of the Code. To protect individual privacy a debtor should use the defendant's copy of the summons to be served with the complaint to provide the information required by §342(c) to any creditor named as a defendant.
