Vt. R. Civ. P. 9.3

Adopted Sept. 13, 2022, eff. 10/1/2022; abrogated February 5, 2024, eff. 2/5/2024.

Reporter's Notes-2024 Amendment

Rule 9.3 is abrogated. This rule, entitled "Special Procedures in Certain Home Foreclosures and Mobile Home Replevin Actions," applied in all one-to-four-unit residential property foreclosure actions pursuant to 12 V.S.A. §§ 4941 or 4945 and all residential mobile home replevin actions pursuant to 9A V.S.A. § 9-609. The rule required notice to certain homeowners who suffered a financial hardship related to the COVID-19 pandemic of possible help available from the Vermont Homeowner Assistance Program (VHAP) and allowed a stay of proceedings while the VHAP processed applications for assistance.

The VHAP closed to new requests for assistance in August 2023, and completed processing of all pending applications as of January 31, 2024. Because the program is closed, Rule 9.3 is abrogated as obsolete.
