Project No. 61

Commenced: 1975
Completed: 1977

When the Commission of Inquiry into Poverty published its final report, the Commission extended its terms of reference to include an examination of the full report. One of the primary concerns of the Commission of Inquiry was to avoid undue hardship to judgment debtors. The central recommendation of the Commission of Inquiry was that a debt recovery tribunal should determine an appropriate enforcement remedy only after an examination hearing of the judgment debtor. The other recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry concerned a legislative regime to support the central recommendation.
