Jonathan Ginsberg’s piece about the murky language of notices from the bankruptcy court struck a cord. In an attempt to provide notice, they sow confusion.
But my pet peeve is the client who calls up and says, literally, “I got this letter from {insert name of court or creditor, or trustee}. What does it mean?”
I wonder if they think I’m the offspring of Carnak the Magnificent, who provided answers BEFORE reading the questions.
I’m trying to train my staff to tell them to fax me the letter in question, so I can see what they are talking about before trying to interpret it.
In my imagination, it would be much more fun just to provide random answers….
