Temporary Deputy Speaker, Clause 35of the Bill introduces a new provision on joint bankruptcies, where two or more debtors who are partners in a business partnership, may make a joint application for bankruptcy order. That is a new field that does not exist in our current legislation; where two persons agree that they have reached a point in which they are no longer a going concern, they can jointly seek to be placed under receivership or bankruptcy.
