Rule 9005.1. Constitutional Challenge to a Statute-Notice, Certification, and Intervention

Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.1 applies in a bankruptcy case.

(Added Apr. 30, 2007, eff. Dec. 1, 2007; amended Apr. 2, 2024, eff. Dec. 1, 2024.)

Committee Notes on Rules-2007

The rule is added to adopt the new rule added to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The new Civil Rule replaces Rule 24(c) F. R. Civ. P., so the cross reference to Civil Rule 24 contained in Rule 7024 is no longer sufficient to bring the provisions of new Civil Rule 5.1 into adversary proceedings. This rule also makes Civil Rule 5.1 applicable to all contested matters and other proceedings within the bankruptcy case.

Changes After Publication. No changes were made after publication.

Committee Notes on Rules-2024 Amendment

The language of Rule 9005.1 has been amended as part of the general restyling of the Bankruptcy Rules to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only.
