Bankruptcy
The Bankruptcy Ordinance provides a legal framework to enable a debtor who is unable to repay his/her debts to file a bankruptcy petition against himself/herself with the court. The main objective of the bankruptcy legislation is: to collect and realise all the bankrupt’s assets and distribute them amongst his/her creditors; and to investigate the causes of insolvency and to punish the bankrupt if any breach of the bankruptcy provisions is involved. Bankruptcy could also help debtors who are under pressure for a prolonged period due to their debts and provides an alternative way for resolving their debt situation.
