Bankruptcy Basics: In General.
There are a few limited situations in which the debtor can request a permanent or temporary waiver of the briefing requirement. The request for a waiver or deferral must be in the form of a signed certification, which has been made part of Part 5 of the bankruptcy petition, and must be accompanied by a written motion. Courts have been very reluctant to grant waivers or deferrals, so every effort should be made by the debtor to complete the briefing before filing the bankruptcy petition.
