    Subpeona Duces Tecum....in aid of Execution

    My brother will be filing Chapter 7, sometime in January 2010.

    He has a civil judgment filed against him for 90k due to a failed business partnership venture. He is awaiting several others.

    He currently has no assets...BK attorney said definitely Chapter 7.

    He is self employed... but barely due to the economy. Currently makes about $1,300.00 month.

    His house is in Foreclosure...sale date December 17, pending an Obama Trial Plan Modification per the Judge.

    The case above was closed August 2009 and a judgment was entered against the partners, individually.

    Now he's received a Subpeona Duces Tecum for deposition in aid of Execution.

    Will he need to attend this deposition, or can he just notify the requesting party of his Bankruptcy proceeding?

    The only thing that I can find, basically says that if you don't attend then you may be in contempt of court, which is what is on the Subpoena as well.

    Also, in the Florida Rules Civil Procedure, it does refer to matters "pending" before the court. So, I'm wondering, since this is not a motion....and the case is closed....then, if he doesn't attend, they would have to petition the court to reopen the case, which would buy a little more time to get the BK filed.

    Sounds like he needs the advice of a qualified atty. This may be beyond the scope of what we can offer here.

      He had best show up, and I would have an attorney involved on my side.

          He doesn't have a bankruptcy proceeding at this point.

          Planning to file bankruptcy is of no legal effect.

          If he doesn't attend, contempt is a strong possibility. If monetary sanctions are imposed as part of that contempt, they may not be dischargeable.

          AlJohnson 007 is right. He needs to have a bk petition filed before the date of the hearing or else plan to appear.
          Pay no attention to anything I post. I graduated last in my class from a fly-by-night law school that no longer exists; I never studied or went to class; and I only post on internet forums when I'm too drunk to crawl away from the computer.

            True, filing BK just before the hearing (if he can afford it) would definitely put the brakes on the civil court case and would fall under the protection of the Automatic Stay.
