Re: Bankrupt Defendant
Depending on the nature of your lawsuit, you can petition the bankruptcy court for relief from stay. In any case, you have to notify the trial court that any action regarding that defendant is stayed. Depending upon that person's culpability, you might ask to bifurcate the case to try it against everyone else.
