FAQ
An adversary proceeding complaint is filed with the clerk's office. Unless the complaint is electronically filed, it must be filed with a completed Adversary Proceeding Coversheet on Local Bankruptcy Form 1040 (which is identical to Official Form 1040).
Once an adversarial proceeding has begun, a court may refuse to discharge debts if a creditor can show that those debts are the result of the debtor's fraud or the debtor failed to properly disclose information as per USC 27 §727.
An adversary proceeding is the bankruptcy court's version of a civil action (a lawsuit). An adversary proceeding is opened by filing a complaint asking the court to rule on an issue related to a bankruptcy case.
A defendant can respond to an adversary proceeding by filing an answer or a motion (e.g., a motion to dismiss the complaint) within 30 days from the date of the summons. If the defendant fails to file a responsive pleading, the bankruptcy judge can enter a default judgment against the defendant.
The purpose of an adversary proceeding is to discuss specific issues that arise during the bankruptcy process, such as determining the dischargeability of a debt, recovering property abandoned by the trustee, or objecting to the discharge of a debtor.
An "Adversary Proceeding" in bankruptcy court has the same meaning as a lawsuit in other courts. This means that one or more "plaintiff(s)" file a "complaint" against one or more "defendant(s)." In many situations an adversary proceeding is required if a plaintiff wants to obtain a particular type of relief.
For example, they might want to object to a discharge, get an injunction, obtain a ruling on whether a debt can be discharged, or pursue money from a party not in the bankruptcy proceeding. A party involved in a bankruptcy case can start an adversary proceeding by filing a complaint.
