Section 172 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act states that a bankrupt can apply to the Supreme Court to have their bankruptcy discharged. This is usually done by completing a Notice of Application – Form 32 and filing in the bankruptcy court file.
Older resources on bankruptcy discharge in BC may refer to a Notice of Motion – this has been replaced in BC with a Notice of Application - Form 32. Other jurisdictions may still use a form called a Notice of Motion.
Section 172.1 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act lists exceptions to the above, where certain bankruptcy circumstances do not allow the bankrupt to apply for early discharge of the bankruptcy. Before applying you should read this section to decide if it applies to you or not.
