Therefore, I would suggest you contact a lawyer and ask them to make the application. Generally it is very difficult to get the Court to lift a stay and allow you to pursue a bankrupt, since that is against the purpose of the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act. You will need a strong case to get the court to agree.J. Douglas Hoyes, CA, Trusteehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09672537534234990983noreply@blogger.com
