C of chapter 13 bankruptcy

Should I always write the C in CAPS while writing chapter 13 bankruptcy?
  

Top answer

I would have said yes, and I see that it often is capitalized—but I checked the US Federal Court website, and they don't capitalize: A debtor's involvement with the bankruptcy judge is usually very limited. A typical chapter 7 debtor will not appear in court and will not see the bankruptcy judge unless an objection is raised in the case. A chapter 13 debtor may only have to appear before the bankruptcy judge at a plan confirmation hearing.

  • So I suggest that both are acceptable.
  • Just be consistent.

I have been using the 'C' since long and just today found that the US Federal Court uses the small one. That;s why i became confused. Thanks Mister for the reply.

'What do you mean by consistent?'

Write it the same way every time.

Rover_KEWrite it the same way every time.
That is, in each paper. You needn't be consistent between papers unless they go to the same readers.
