If, during his/her enquiries into your affairs, the Official Receiver decides that you have been dishonest either before or during the bankruptcy or that you are otherwise to blame for your position, he/she may apply to the court for a bankruptcy restrictions order. The court may make an order against you for between 2 and 15 years and this order will mean that you continue to be subject to the restrictions of bankruptcy which are described in section 10 above. You may give a bankruptcy restrictions undertaking which will have the same effect as an order, but will mean that the matter does not go to court.

bankrupt. |
