That is the meeting when not to be wearing much jewellery or sporting an expensive watch. What is seized and what allowed to remain with the debtor must inevitably depend on the judgement of the interviewer. Nor is he entitled to remuneration for time spent. If he has his suspicions in that respect the OR or Trustee may exercise his right to apply to the Court under S 371 to have the debtor's mail re-directed to an official for a period of up to three months following the Bankruptcy Order. Both these meetings can get very heated.
Unattractive truths emerge.
Unless pressed I'll just leave it. There are one or two uncomfortable restrictions. On the other hand the bankrupt may not be much inconvenienced by finding himself disqualified from running for Parliament, for the local council or certain other public office. Significantly, many professioal bodies e.g. those governing solicitors, barristers, accountants will give sympathetic consideration to allowing their member to continue in practice. If the bankrupt owned his own house, that is likely to be sold over his head.
