Section 234 — Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act: Re-examination of debtor

Text of the provision Official document

A debtor or any registered creditor may at any time apply ex parte to the clerk for a further examination and hearing of the debtor in respect of his financial circumstances. The further hearing referred to in subsection (1) may only be held with the leave of the clerk; or in the event of the refusal of the clerk, with leave of the court. The clerk shall give all parties to the consolidation order at least thirty days notice of the time appointed for the hearing referred to in subsection (1). Where after considering the evidence presented at the further hearing referred to in subsection (1) the clerk is of the opinion that the terms of payment set out in the consolidation order, or the decision that the circumstances of the debtor do not warrant the immediate settling of any amounts or times of payment thereof, should be changed because of a change in the circumstances of the debtor, he may vary the order with respect to the amounts to be paid by the debtor into court or the times of payment thereof, or on notice of motion refer the matter to the court for settlement. Section 227 applies, with such modifications as the circumstances require, to a decision of the clerk under subsection (4).
