The Debtors Original Complaint In Adversary Proceedings

The initial document (pleading) filed in a cause of action in federal court cases, including ancillary litigation of bankruptcy matters in US Bankruptcy Courts is known as a complaint. The Bankruptcy Complaint Form is the equivalent of a plaintiff's petition in state court proceedings, and is often referred to as a Debtor's Bankruptcy Complaint Form when contesting actions taken by creditors in adversary proceedings. Nevertheless, in the administrative proceeding, the initial debtor's pleading requesting relief is still called a Debtors Original Petition when initiating a case under any chapter.
