Brief of case OOO Bolshoretskoe is a Russian fishing company that sold 400 Tons of pollock worth around US$700,000 to Alimex Seafood A/S, a Danish company. The pollock was scheduled to be transshipped from Dalian to Europe. Alimex had not yet paid Bolshoretskoe for product. Bolshoretskoe owed Daxin Petroleum Pte, Ltd., a Singapore fuel supply company, around US$400,000 for fuel. M/V IVAN POLZUNOV, vessel carrying pollock, was scheduled to call on Dalian on 4 July, 2003. Our task was to seize pollock for Daxin to get Bolshoretskoe to pay its debt.

Bolshoretskoe's debt to Daxin arose in July and December, 2002, when Daxin supplied bunker products for two Russian fishing vessels, TOSNO and PHOENIX. To secure these fuelings, Bolshoretskoe signed a guarantee letter to Daxin in which "Bolshoretskoe assigns all receivables resulting from production, deliveries and selling of Salmon or Pollock on/from board of F/T PHOENIX in favor of Daxin for amount of bunker supply. In addition, Bolshoretskoe agrees that property title to salmon or pollock products covering amount of bunker shall pass to Daxin immediately upon processing and/or storage of products on board of PHOENIX.

Daxin was not paid on its two fuel deliveries, and Bolshoretskoe was refusing to pay. It is estimated TOSNO and PHOENIX owed a combined total of around $20 million in unpaid debt to various creditors.

Intensive and orderly preparation for cargo arrest After studying relevant documents and analyzing entire history of case, we determined that either Bolshoretskoe or Alimex would pay Daxin if we arrested cargo in China. So we set about to do just that.

First, we prepared all necessary legal documents pursuant to Chinese law. Due to various different legal systems and languages involved (China, Russia, Singapore and United States), our preparations were extremely time consuming. As we were preparing our documentation and firming up our strategies, Dan was also preparing to come to Dalian.

However, day before Dan was to leave United States, he learned that pollock's transport vessel, IVAN POLZUNOV, had secretly changed its plans in an effort to avoid arrest. It would not be calling Dalian on July 4, 2003; it would be calling Qingdao on July 8, 2003. Because all legal documents had been prepared for Dalian Maritime Court, Bolshoretskoe's change in plans necessitated we completely change our plans also. With time so much of essence, we asked Sunfanlong, who works in Qingdao Wincon law firm, to work with us and we transferred all legal documents to him.

Successful Arrest of cargo On July 7, 2003, Dan arrived in Qingdao. The IVAN POLZUNOV arrived in Qingdao next day and began to discharge 15 containers of pollock for transshipment to Europe. When judge, Wincon's lawyer and Dan saw that containers were being offloaded on trailers for transport to container terminal, they went straight to terminal to deliver arrest papers on all 15 containers. However, after waiting nearly five hours at terminal and waiting well into night, only three containers had arrived and been arrested. Nobody seemed to know what had happened to other twelve containers. We were concerned Bolshoretskoe and/or Alimex had learned of our arrest warrant and had hidden other twelve containers. Adding to our worries was that we had by now learned that Alimex was to ship all 15 containers to Europe very next day. We checked everywhere for missing twelve containers. We checked with various trucking companies. We checked all around terminal. Nothing. Eventually, we learned that twelve containers had been in terminal all along, but had been issued separate bills of lading from first three and placed in a somewhat separate area. We had succeeded in arresting all fifteen containers.

After our having engaged in twelve days of intensive e-mail and telephone communication together, Dan showed up at Dalian's airport. His high praise of our work conveyed his satisfaction of our efficient job. Dalian and Qingdao's picturesque scenery and modern city construction impressed Dan deeply and changed his previous imagination regarding this part of China. He loved food and our culture and talked about returning some day with his family on holiday.

Hard success to acquire guaranty and lift arrest Now that we had pollock under arrest, we would need to maintain it in its frozen condition at terminal. Pollock is a valuable fish and costs and risks during arrest period were high. The sooner we could resolve dispute, sooner fish would be on its way, and better it would be for all parties.

Due to dramatic increase in technology, business professionals now have ability to outsource their skills and earn extra money working from home as a bankruptcy forms processor. Unlike an attorney or notary public, a bankruptcy forms processor does not have jurisdictional limits. In other words, a bankruptcy forms processor could live in Yellow Springs, Ohio and prepare bankruptcy petitions, pleadings, Motions and other court documents for attorneys practicing in California, New York or any other U.S. state.

In fact, a bankruptcy forms processor can set up a bankruptcy business in their home with very little money and earn a full-time income very quickly. This concept has also opened door for attorneys practicing in other areas of law to open a sideline bankruptcy practice, and many of these attorneys seek a freelance forms processor to process their paperwork for them.

This is where you as a bankruptcy forms processor can fill a need that is becoming more popular as electronic filing procedures become more norm. In fact, some states now require electronic filing of all court documents. Paper documents are only accepted by court from consumers or in other rare circumstances. It will not be long before all states will have electronic filing procedures in place and those resisting change will be left behind.

A typical bankruptcy forms processing business might operate like this:

1. Client either downloads or is emailed a set of Client Intake Forms in PDF format to print and fill out at their leisure.

2. Client will fax or email their completed forms to attorney or forms processor for review. If attorney decides to accept bankruptcy case, forms processor can begin drafting bankruptcy petition from information provided on Client Intake Forms.

3. Areas of Client Intake Forms that are not properly completed by client or containing statements that require a more detailed answer would be easy to take care of. The forms processor or attorney will simply call up client and obtain information. No appointment would be necessary.
