Rule 1010. Service of Involuntary Petition
and Summons; Petition For Recognition of a Foreign Nonmain Proceeding
On the filing of an involuntary petition
or a petition for recognition of a foreign nonmain proceeding
the clerk shall forthwith issue a summons for service. When
an involuntary petition is filed, service shall be made on
the debtor. When a petition for recognition of a foreign nonmain
proceeding is filed, service shall be made on the debtor,
any entity against whom provisional relief is sought under
§ 1519 of the Code, and on any other parties as the court
may direct. The summons shall be served with a copy of the
petition in the manner provided for service of a summons and
complaint by Rule 7004(a) or
(b). If service cannot
be so made, the court may order that the summons and petition
be served by mailing copies to the party’s last known
address, and by at least one publication in a manner and form
directed by the court. The summons and petition may be served
on the party anywhere. Rule 7004 (e) and
Rule 4 (l) F.R.Civ.P. apply when service is made or attempted
under this rule.
