Frequently Asked Questions

A Motion for Exemption From Dormancy is a legal request made by a plaintiff in a civil suit to prevent their case from being placed on the dormancy list due to the defendant's bankruptcy filing. It aims to keep the case active while the bankruptcy proceedings are ongoing.

Filing this motion is necessary when the defendant has filed for bankruptcy, which automatically stays all civil proceedings. It helps ensure that your case remains active and your rights are protected during the bankruptcy process.

The motion packet includes the Motion for Exemption from Dormancy, an Order for the judge to sign, and an Affidavit in Support that outlines the reasons for the exemption request. Each document must be properly completed and filed with the court.

To file this motion in Connecticut, you must complete the required forms, sign the Affidavit in front of a notary public, and submit all documents to the appropriate court. It is advisable to consult with an attorney for guidance on the filing process.

If you do not file this motion when the defendant files for bankruptcy, your case may be placed on the dormancy list and could be dismissed due to inactivity. This could result in losing your opportunity to pursue your claims against the defendant.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are plaintiffs in a civil suit may need this motion to prevent their case from being placed on the dormancy list due to the defendant's bankruptcy filing. This ensures that their legal rights are preserved while the bankruptcy proceedings are ongoing.
  • Situations requiring immediate action may arise when a defendant files for bankruptcy, automatically staying all civil proceedings. In such cases, the plaintiff can utilize this motion to request an exemption from dormancy, allowing the case to remain active.
  • For those involved in a civil lawsuit in Connecticut, it is crucial to act promptly if the opposing party files for bankruptcy. This motion serves as a formal request to the court to keep the case alive despite the bankruptcy stay, ensuring that the plaintiff's claims are not dismissed due to inactivity.
  • Legal representatives may find this motion essential when advising clients about the implications of a defendant's bankruptcy. Filing this motion can help maintain the momentum of the lawsuit and protect the plaintiff's interests during complex bankruptcy proceedings.
  • Attorneys handling civil litigation cases can use this motion to navigate the challenges presented by a defendant's bankruptcy. By filing for an exemption from dormancy, they can ensure that their client's case is not adversely affected by the automatic stay imposed by bankruptcy law.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate if the defendant has not filed for bankruptcy. In such cases, the motion for exemption from dormancy would be unnecessary and irrelevant to the situation.
  • โ€“ If the civil suit is already inactive and has been placed on the dormancy list for reasons other than the defendant's bankruptcy, this motion would not be applicable. Other legal remedies may need to be pursued instead.
  • โ€“ In situations where the plaintiff is not actively pursuing the case or has decided to withdraw their claims, filing this motion would not be suitable. The motion is intended to keep a case alive, not to facilitate withdrawal.
  • โ€“ This motion should not be used if the plaintiff has already received a dismissal of their case. Once a case is dismissed, there is no active suit to exempt from dormancy.
  • โ€“ If the plaintiff is seeking to delay proceedings for reasons unrelated to the defendant's bankruptcy, this motion would not be appropriate. The motion specifically addresses the impact of bankruptcy on civil litigation.
