BRISBANE

14 DECEMBER 1990

EX TEMPORE REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

This is an application for discharge. The material does not disclose the facts, but it is the fact that the bankrupt was written to by the trustee and did not reply. It emerges from the information supplied by the trustee that this wae not the bankrupt's fault.

The trustee informs me that very little was done in relation to the estate because it was in a category which

attracts little attention. The reason why the bankrupt wants

a discharge is that if he is discharged he thinks he may be able to obtain a job at a hotel and he claims that without a discharge he cannot do so.

The version he gives of the reason for his
bankruptcy is such as to make one think that it was not a
blameworthy bankruptcy but simply due to ordinary business

hazards. In the ordinary course of events the discharge would take place in December next year so that Mr. Peel seeks to accelerate the discharge by about a year.

It seems to me reasonable in the circumstances that this should occur and the order will be that the bankrupt be discharged forthwith.

I certify that this and the preceding page are a true copy of the reasons for judgment herein of his Honour Mr. Justice Pincus.
