What is a J28?

Court declares person bankrupt or company insolvent

When a court is about to declare a person bankrupt (called "sequestration") or a company insolvent (called "winding-up"), it first issues a provisional order. A J28 notice publishes that provisional order. It includes the case number, the court, the affected party, and the date.

A provisional order is followed by a return date when the court decides whether to make it final. After the order, the Master of the High Court appoints a trustee or liquidator to take over the affairs of the bankrupt person or company.
