Amendments: Which form version to use?
Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2015 10:35 am
The Court's position is not ambiguous. Everything filed on or after
December 1, 2015 must be on the new forms or it will be rejected as never
having been filed. I have heard it from the Chief judge on two separate
occasions and from the Clerk of the Court.
In reality, it looks like the clerks are ignoring this rule. Probably
because they realized they get thousands of incorrect documents each day
and would not have the man power to reject all those documents.
Personally, I would never use an old form when a new one is available. Say
they update the relief from stay form. Well your case was filed in 2011 so
you want to use the old version. How does that make sense?
