(1) Publication is made by notification in a central and national publication on the Internet,* and such publication may be restricted to excerpts. Documents to be published must refer to the debtor’s particulars, with special reference being made to the debtor’s address and branch of business. Such publication is deemed to have been effected when two additional days following the day of publication have elapsed.
(2) The insolvency court may occasion additional publications where this is laid down in Land legislation. The Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection is empowered to regulate the details of the central and national publication on the Internet by way of a statutory instrument which requires the approval of the Bundesrat. In doing so, in particular deletion periods are to be provided for, as are regulations ensuring that the publications
1. remain intact, complete and up to date,
2. can be traced to their source at any time.
(3) Publication suffices as evidence of service on all parties to the proceedings even if any provision additionally orders individual service.
