A Wisconsin Summons in a Chapter 15 Case Seeking Recognition of a Foreign Nonmain Proceeding is a type of legal document served to a debtor by the bankruptcy court. It is a form of notice that informs the debtor of the commencement of a foreign nonmain proceeding and requests that the debtor appear before the court to answer questions or provide information on the matter. The Wisconsin Summons functions as an order to show cause why the foreign nonmain proceeding should not be recognized. The Wisconsin Summons is issued by the court and requires a debtor to respond to certain allegations. It demands that the debtor appear in court and provide information and testimony about the foreign nonmain proceeding. Additionally, the debtor must provide a statement of any assets and liabilities in the foreign proceeding and explain why recognition of the foreign nonmain proceeding is necessary. There are two types of Wisconsin Summons in a Chapter 15 Case Seeking Recognition of a Foreign Nonmain Proceeding: an order to show cause and an order to appear. An order to show cause summons requires the debtor to respond within a certain amount of time to the allegations and provide evidence to support their claims. An order to appear summons requires the debtor to appear in court at a certain date and time to answer questions and provide testimony.
