Such appointments were made under Section 18 of the Insolvency Act 1897, (subsequently Section 75 of the 1915 Act).

受托人登记册由地方破产法院依据1897年《破产法》第17条设立，后又依据1915年《破产法》第74条延续。该登记册记录了所有申请注册为符合《破产法》规定、可被任命为受托人职务的人员。其详细信息在全州范围内通用。

登记册中包含自1897年《破产法》通过以来所有经地方法院批准的人员，其详细信息按以下标题录入：申请法院；受托人姓名；地址；申请日期；注册令日期；注册日期；注销令日期及注销日期。

破产法院还需在必要时创建并维护一份受托人登记册，用于登记由已宣告破产者的债权人任命的受托人。此类任命依据1897年《破产法》第18条（后为1915年法案第75条）作出。
