The automatic limitation to 25 in number of written interrogatories which may be served upon a party contained in Fed.R.Civ.P. 33(a) as incorporated by FRBP 7033 shall not apply in bankruptcy proceedings.
 
 

          Revision of Fed.R.Civ.P. 33 to limit the number of interrogatories to "25 in number including all discrete subparts" corresponded to the simultaneous revision of Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(1)-(3) requiring affirmative disclosure of much of the information previously obtained by interrogatory. Since by Local Bankruptcy Rule 7026-1 the court has exercised its right to opt-out of the affirmative disclosure requirement of Fed.R.Civ.P. 26, made applicable in bankruptcy by FRBP 7026, the court has correspondingly suspended the automatic limitation on the number of interrogatories that can be propounded. Nothing in this rule, however, limits a party's right to seek a protective order under Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c) as incorporated by FRBP 7026, deemed necessary to protect a party from annoyance, oppression or undue burden or expense.
