Section 30(10)(b)(i) must be given its plain meaning: any departure from Hong Kong by a bankrupt requires prior notification of itinerary and contact to the trustee; failure to notify suspends the running of the bankruptcy period during absence and until physical return and notification. There is no statutory or judicially required threshold of permanency (eg. three months) and immigration de minimis principles do not apply to this provision.
