When a Bankrupt is no longer subject to the automatic restrictions of Bankruptcy they are said to be discharged. Until that time a Bankrupt might also be known as an undischarged bankrupt. Discharge occurs after 12 months unless the Discharge is suspended, which usually only happens if the Bankrupt has failed to co-operate with the Official Receiver or Trustee in Bankruptcy, or has been guilty of wrongdoing prior to being made Bankrupt.
