D.C. Super. Ct. Civ. R. 7.1
Disclosure Statement
(a) WHO MUST FILE; CONTENTS. A nongovernmental corporate party or a
nongovernmental corporation that seeks to intervene must file a disclosure statement
that:
(1) identifies any parent corporation and any publicly held corporation owning 10% or
more of its stock; or
(2) states that there is no such corporation.
(b) TIME TO FILE; SUPPLEMENTAL FILING. A party, intervenor, or proposed
intervenor must:
(1) file the disclosure with its first appearance, pleading, petition, motion, response, or
other request addressed to the court; and
(2) promptly file a supplemental statement if any required information changes.
(c) COLLECTION AND SUBROGATION CASE PROCEDURES. A plaintiff need not file
a statement in a case filed pursuant to Rule 40-III(a) unless the defendant files a
responsive pleading or otherwise appears to contest the allegations contained in the
complaint. In a case in which such a pleading is filed or a defendant appears, the
statement must be filed promptly.
History
COMMENT TO 2023 AMENDMENTS Sections (a) and (b) have been amended to incorporate applicable portions of the 2022 amendments to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 7.1. Section (a) now extends the disclosure requirement to a nongovernmental corporation that seeks to intervene. Section (a) also omits the former requirement that two copies of the disclosure statement be filed. Section (b) has been amended to reflect the new disclosure requirement in section (a). COMMENT TO 2017 AMENDMENTS Sections (a) and (b) are identical to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 7.1, as amended in 2007. Section (c), which is unique to the Superior Court rule, is retained from the prior version of this rule.
