    Section 30A(10)(b)(i) requires a bankrupt to notify the trustee of itinerary and contact details for any departure from Hong Kong, including transient departures; if the bankrupt fails to notify, the running of the relevant bankruptcy period is suspended for the period of absence and does not resume until the bankrupt physically returns and notifies the trustee. The Official Receiver's internal 3‑month threshold is rejected.
