A 2004 hearing is like a Deposition in a Civil Lawsuit
- In a Civil Lawsuit, a Deposition can be scheduled to discover evidence which is relevant to the case
- A Deposition is a scheduled date and time for questions to be asked of the party, when a Court Reporter would be present, and the answers are sworn to by the Deponent
- Documents can be requested for production, and the Deponent can be asked about the documents
- Failure to appear at the 2004 Hearing can result in sanctions and/or dismissal of the Bankruptcy Petition
- Attending a 2004 Hearing WILL result in additional attorney fees
