VPRS 827 Court Records

In cases of insolvency, whether voluntary or involuntary, a considerable amount of documentation needed to be assembled to assess the extent of indebtedness, to definitively identify creditors and their claims and in the course of attempting to resolve these claims as satisfactorily and justly as possible and to identify the assets of the insolvent. Often matters of insolvency took some considerable time to resolve with a number of options for resolution such as the attempt to trade out of the insolvency, the liquidation of assets and compounding with creditors by the assignee or trustee of the estate. All of these activities were under the supervision of the Court and the standard measures or steps needed to be documented with results recorded in the Registers.These proceedings were set out by the statutes governing insolvency in Victoria. These were firstly, the New South Wales Insolvency Acts of 1841 and 1844 and secondly, with the establishment of the Court of Insolvency in the Insolvency Act 1870 the statutes enacted in Victoria. These were superseded in 1928 with Commonwealth laws enacted and applicable in all states.This series consists of the Schedules, Orders, Deeds of Arrangement, Deeds of Assignment and other documentation as required by the cases heard before the Court of Insolvency.

在破产情形下，无论系自愿或非自愿破产，均需汇集大量文件以评估债务规模、明确识别债权人及其债权、在尽可能满意且公正地解决债权的过程中，以及确定破产人的资产。破产事宜通常需耗费大量时间解决，且存在多种解决方案，例如尝试通过经营摆脱破产状态、清算资产，以及由财产受让人或受托人与债权人达成和解。所有此类活动均受法院监督，标准措施或步骤需予以记录，结果则登记于登记簿中。这些程序由维多利亚州的破产法规所规范：首先为1841年及1844年的新南威尔士破产法；其次为1870年《破产法》设立破产法院后维多利亚州颁布的法规。上述法规于1928年被适用于所有州的联邦法律所取代。本系列包含破产法院审理案件所需的时间表、命令、和解契约、转让契约及其他相关文件。
