The court held that s.30A(10) (non‑commencement/non‑continuation provisions tied to absence) does not apply to bankrupts deemed discharged under s.30C(2); upon a timely objection under s.30C(2)/s.30A(4) the court's proper power is to consider the objection and, if justified, exercise its discretion under s.30A(3) to suspend the deemed discharge. Applying that discretion on the facts, the court postponed discharge to 27 August 2000.
