Bankruptcy – Discharge. The Chancery Division dismissed the claimant bankrupt's appeal against part of an order directing an examination under ss 333 and 336 of the Insolvency Act 1986. The order had been made on the application of the trustee on the ground that the claimant had failed to disclose his financial details. The court declined to interfere with the order where the requests for disclosure by the trustee had been reasonable and where the claimant had steadfastly refused to provide the trustee with the necessary information relating to his pension fund which would enable the trustee to carry out an investigation.
