Answer 1

Downsides to live chats with bankruptcy courts are that, the person might not be easily able to communicate what he/she intends to say because of the void of being physically present.

More number of people won't be able to communicate at once as a person can't easily interrupt.

There are no set protocols which makes one nervous.

Only digital documents could be shared, where as physical objects can't be easily showed and depicted.

There are often offline interruptions which makes it unprofessional and increases the chances of the court not accepting the case.

Technological glitches render the communication ineffective as all participants have to be on the same page at the same point in time.

Financial accounts can't be easily shared because it increases the chances of someone using it ineffectively and unlawfully.
