Bankruptcy Act 1966

The Inspector‑General may review a decision of a trustee to make an assessment:

on the Inspector‑General’s own initiative; or

if requested to do so by the bankrupt for reasons that appear to the Inspector‑General to be sufficient to justify such a review.

The Inspector‑General must review such a decision if requested to do so by the Ombudsman.

A request by the bankrupt to the Inspector‑General for the review of such a decision must:

be in writing and given to the Inspector‑General not later than 60 days after the day on which the bankrupt is notified of the trustee’s assessment; and

be accompanied by:

a copy of the notice of assessment; and

any documents on which the bankrupt relies in support of the request.

Within 60 days after the request is received, the Inspector‑General must:

decide whether to review the decision; and

if the Inspector‑General decides to review the decision—make his or her decision on the review.
