- CACV247/2007
The court held that it has no power to backdate the date of a bankrupt's discharge under section 30A; interim suspension orders operate to suspend the relevant period and create legal consequences while in force, and the correct remedy on disposal of an objection summons without substantive order under section 30A(3) is to discharge the interim order and declare the bankrupt discharged with effect from the date of disposal, not an earlier date.
