Once the court has decided to open an individual rehabilitation procedure, who must be served with the papers, and what must those papers contain?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In the practice file for this exercise, we read the decision opening individual rehabilitation to confirm its matters, the list of individual rehabilitation claims and the repayment plan proposal that were prepared, the list of persons the court identified as recipients, and any proof of service showing which of them were actually served.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading follows the recipient list as the provision sets it: the court must serve a writing stating the matters the provision lists for public notice, together with the list of individual rehabilitation claims and the repayment plan proposal, on the debtor, on individual rehabilitation creditors it knows of, and on persons who hold the debtor's property or owe a debt to the debtor, so each recipient holds the same three items in one service.
Another reading turns on a word the provision uses for two of the three groups: creditors are served only if the court 'knows of' them, and holders of the debtor's property or debtors to the debtor appear without any such limit, so the file has to show how far the court's knowledge went before it decided who counted as a known creditor.
Your judgment
If a creditor not served later objects, what in the file would show whether the court knew of that creditor when it fixed the recipients?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change who must be served or what the served writing must contain, or if a court decision explains when a creditor counts as one the court knew of.
