- Court
- High Court
The Court applied its broad discretion under s 294/298, having considered the Assignee's report under s 296, the applicant's cooperation after filing the statement of affairs, lack of creditor opposition, minimal assets for creditors, and the applicant's prolonged bankruptcy (over seven years); these factors constituted good cause to grant immediate discharge under s 298(1)(a).
