discharge of bankrupt
discharge of bankrupt
For bankrupts who do not qualify for the automatic discharge, the trustee is required within one year from the beginning of the bankruptcy to apply to the court for a hearing of the application for a discharge.
The court official has several options from which to choose. At the hearing, the court decides whether to postpone the hearing to a later date, refuse the discharge, or issue any of the following orders:
@ order of absolute discharge
Order of absolute discharge which relieves the bankrupt of the debts incurred before the bankruptcy, except for the exceptions provided in the Act.
@ order of conditional discharge
Order of conditional discharge where certain conditions must be met before an absolute order of discharge is issued.
@ order of suspended discharge
Order of suspended discharge where the court orders a delay before the discharge becomes effective. (Dictionary of Canadian Bankruptcy Terms)
