Filing Requirements

The Bankruptcy Act 1966, Bankruptcy Regulations 1996 and Bankruptcy (Estate Charges) Act 1997 contain requirements relating to lodging documents with, or making applications or notifying events to, the Official Receiver or Inspector-General in Bankruptcy.

These requirements are summarised in a table of FilingTimes which specifies:

• the party required to lodge/apply/notify;
• the preferred method of lodgement/application/notification;
• whether any time limits apply;
• whether any fees apply; and
• penalties for late or non-compliance where applicable.
