When debts can no longer be paid, insolvency law offers a structured way out. Individuals may apply for voluntary sequestration under the Insolvency Act 24 of 1936, companies can be liquidated, and struggling businesses may be placed in business rescue under Chapter 6 of the Companies Act. An insolvent person can later apply for rehabilitation.
Sequestration applications are brought in the High Court, while debt review runs through a registered debt counsellor under the National Credit Act. For people in Gqeberha, the court is the Eastern Cape Division of the High Court, which sits in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).
