Ground (d) (unsatisfactory conduct) not made out on the facts because the passport use was adequately explained and there was insufficient proof of intent to deceive; ground (g) (conviction under s131(a)) was established but the court declined to exercise its discretion to suspend the automatic discharge because the bankrupt had been punished (suspended sentences) and suspension would unduly delay rehabilitation; therefore the Official Receiver's application to suspend discharge was refused.
