Monies administered under Part X of the Bankruptcy Act
Official Trustee
In 2021–22, the Official Trustee administered no payments and no receipts. The Official Trustee only administers personal insolvency agreements when a registered trustee resigns, is deregistered or dies. The Official Trustee reconstructs the accounts and reviews all material in the previous trustee’s file. As a result, there can be a delay while the Official Trustee reconciles payments made prior to the Official Trustee’s appointment.
Registered trustees
Registered trustees administered more than $21 million in receipts in 2022–23. Income contributions accounted for 9% of these receipts.
Registered trustees administered more than $20 million in payments in 2022–23. Dividends accounted for 42% of these payments, and trustee fee payments accounted for another 19%.
