    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCB733/1994

    The court dismissed the Official Receiver's application to suspend the automatic discharge because the Official Receiver's original concerns had been addressed by material later filed, the bankrupt had been cooperative and provided available evidence, further adjournments would be unfair and effectively delay the statutory discharge, and the petitioning creditor had no locus to intervene without leave; accordingly there was no justification to continue the suspension and the bankrupt was discharged effective 1 November 1999.
