Rule 4 Notice requirements
Rule Text
(a) Recipients of notice. Except as otherwise expressly provided by statute or these rules, persons to whom notice must be given in a particular matter include all the parties in a case, interested persons in decedent's estate cases, as prescribed in D.C. Code § 20-101(d) and affected persons in all other cases as the Court shall direct. Notice may be effectuated by sending the petition by first class mail postage prepaid to the prescribed person or persons.
(b) Court may modify notice. The Court may modify the requirements of notice under these rules when the parties and affected persons are very numerous and it appears that the time, labor, and expense of complying will be disproportionate to the distributive shares of those having an interest in the matter.
