See my note under Joeky's answer - you cannot declare yourself bankrupt, so NO it certainly won't "do" - application/petition is what you are looking for - sterkte, maar koop tog in die toekoms eers die regte woordeboeke !
joeky janusch Oct 26, 2006:
Yes, I think that will do!
Succes!

Petition/Declaration I don't know if anyone is around at this time of day (deadline looming), but what if I were to state: a petition for or declaration of bankruptcy - would that not cover both "verzoek" and "eigen aangifte"?

In die SA regstelstel is dit ´n vrywillige oorgawe (sekwestrasie), maar hopelik sit en vertaal jy nie daar sonder die regte hulpbronne nie? As jy enigsens NL»EN regsvertalings wil doen, is die "Juridische Lexicon" ´n minimumvereiste.

Thank you!
neutral writeaway : you can't do legal just by opening a dictionary. aangifte can mean notification but have you ever heard of an "own bankruptcy notification"?

disagree Deborah do Carmo : no, you don´t just "declare" yourself bankrupt, there is something called a "Court" that kinda get involves in the process first!// incredibly irresponsible to urge a colleague to use something so obviously wrong, especially after it has been pointed out!

neutral writeaway : with LL-your answer is wrong-and it's against the rules to pump for your own answer anyway. Legal has to be understood, not just put together from a dictionary
