GAZETTING AND ADVERTISING

March 2001

PART 3 – MISCELLANEOUS      

NOTE: THIS PART IS ONLY APPLICABLE IN RELATION TO CASES WHERE THE PETITION WAS PRESENTED BEFORE 6 APRIL 2009

5B.33 Cost of advertising and gazetting

The cost of any Gazette notice or advertisement will normally fall on the insolvent estate, except where the Rules specifically provide (eg annulment or discharge orders, the cost of any advertisement of which is paid for by the former bankrupt - see also paragraph 5B.27 and 5B.28) or the court orders otherwise.

5B.34 Gazetting and advertising at official receiver’s discretion

There is nothing to prevent the official receiver (either in his/her capacity as such or as liquidator or trustee) placing a notice in the Gazette or an advertisement in relation to any matter, even if the Act or Rules do not specifically provide for it, if he/she feels that such a notice or advertisement would be of benefit in the proceedings. For instance, although there is no specific requirement to do so, the official receiver may, when appointed as provisional liquidator or interim receiver, wish to give publicity to the appointment to put persons who may be dealing with the insolvent on notice of the position.
