bankruptcy relief order

Hi,

I was wondering about the Bankruptcy relief order. IF you were given one for 5 years for example I understand the professional restrictions but would you actually be discharged from your bankruptcy. Or in other words if you started earning during your BRO term would you be liable to pay back the debts still?

cheers

    Hi zico82 and welcome to the BR board. 12 months From the date of you BR you are automatically discharged and only if you have an IPA (runs for 36 months) would you have to inform the OR of your change of circumstances, having a BRO/BRU the bankruptcy ends at the discharge date, any lump sums received after this are yours to keep. The BRO/BRU only extends the restrictions it is not about assets.
