Suspension of Discharge from Bankruptcy

The trustee in bankruptcy may make an application to the court where the bankrupt has failed to meet his obligation under the Insolvency Act 1986 for an order automatically suspending the bankrupt’s discharge until the bankrupt has fully complied with his obligations to the trustee.

A bankrupt is usually automatically discharged from bankruptcy 12 months after the date that the bankruptcy order was made.

Michael successfully obtained the discharge from bankruptcy on behalf of a prominent president of a European Football Club after 11 years of his discharge having been suspended.

Michael also regularly acts on behalf of trustees to suspend a bankrupt’s discharge under section 279(3) of the Insolvency Act 1986.
