2016-01-01

666. The court clerk notifies the debtor’s declaration to the creditors named in it, at no cost to the debtor, and invites them, for the purpose of participating in the distribution, to file their claim with the court office and make any representations they may have. The court clerk gives the list of declared creditors to any creditor who requests it. The court clerk also notifies to the creditors any declaration of a change in the debtor’s situation.

Creditors are required to file their claim, which is deemed to be a sworn claim, within 30 days after the notification. The claim must set out the nature, date and amount of the debt and be filed with supporting documents. It is deemed, for the purpose of computing interest, to have been notified on the date of the debtor’s initial or subsequent declaration.

A creditor who delays in notifying their claim or in filing supporting documents is only entitled, until the delay is remedied, to the amount determined according to the debtor’s declaration.
