At a hearing for bankruptcy discharge, what kind of orders can the court issue against an individual?

  1. Refuse a discharge

  2. Issue an absolute discharge

  3. Grant an unconditional permit

  4. Approve without conditions

The correct answer is: Issue an absolute discharge

At a hearing for bankruptcy discharge, the court cannot refuse a discharge, but it can issue an absolute discharge. This means that the individual's bankruptcy case will be fully closed and the individual will no longer be responsible for their debts. The court also cannot grant an unconditional permit as bankruptcy discharge refers to the release of an individual from their debts, not the granting of a permit. Additionally, the court cannot approve without conditions as bankruptcy discharge is not conditional. It fully releases the individual from their debts. Therefore, the only correct answer is B Issue an absolute discharge.
