Historical background
Insolvency is the inability to pay your debts or meet your expenses. Under early colonial law insolvency was treated as a different concept to bankruptcy. Bankruptcy involved an insolvents assets being administered and distributed to creditors.
The jurisdiction of insolvency was recognised in New South Wales in 1823 with the Act to Provide for the better Administration of Justice in New South Wales. The Act allowed the Supreme Court to examine the affairs of those unable to pay creditors.
The Act did not stop people continuing to be imprisoned for debt. In 1830 the two concepts of insolvency and bankruptcy were combined in the Act for the Relief of Debtors and for an Equal Distribution of their Estates and Effects amongst Creditors.
In 1887 the Bankruptcy jurisdiction of the Supreme Court was established under the Act to amend and consolidate the law relating to insolvency and bankruptcy.
This Act provided clear guidelines on the process from insolvency to bankruptcy. That is, from the inability to meet creditors to the distribution of assets.
From 1888 insolvency records were combined with bankruptcy records
Cause of death: Pneumonia.
