11 U.S.C. § 306 — Limited appearance

submitted 48 years ago by Pub. L. 95-598 to r/title-11-BANKRUPTCY · 74 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

A foreign representative who appears in a U.S. bankruptcy court to file certain requests doesn't become subject to that court's power for anything else. But the court can require the representative to follow its orders as a condition of granting those requests.

If a foreign representative appears in a bankruptcy court only to bring a petition or request under section 303 or 305, that appearance alone does not give any U.S. court power over the representative for any other purpose. However, the bankruptcy court may make its order under section 303 or 305 conditional on the foreign representative obeying that court's other orders.

An appearance in a bankruptcy court by a foreign representative in connection with a petition or request under section 303 or 305 of this title does not submit such foreign representative to the jurisdiction of any court in the United States for any other purpose, but the bankruptcy court may condition any order under section 303 or 305 of this title on compliance by such foreign representative with the orders of such bankruptcy court.
