- Court
- High Court
The applicant was not automatically discharged under s290 because his May 2017 statement of affairs did not substantially comply with the prescribed requirements; however, having regard to the Official Assignee's report, lack of prejudice to creditors, the single creditor's participation and the long passage of time, the court exercised its discretion under s294 to order the applicant's discharge from bankruptcy effective 18 May 2021.
