Commentary on Sections Article 208H: The moratorium period
In most cases, the moratorium period is one year from the date on which the order is entered in the register. However, the order may be terminated early, for example if the debtor’s financial circumstances change so that he could make arrangements to pay creditors, or if he has been found to have provided misleading information on his application.
The Article makes provision for the moratorium period to be extended by the Official Receiver or the court and the circumstances in which an extension is permitted. Such circumstances included carrying out or completing an investigation into the debtor’s affairs (only with permission of the court) or providing the debtor with an opportunity to make arrangements to pay his creditors before revoking the order.
