In Re: Conceicao Piedade Joanes; (Cause No. 38 of 1937) [1944] EACA 10 (1 January 1944)
The court held that where an order of discharge is made but suspended for a stated period, and the discharge order does not expressly require continuation of monthly payments previously ordered, the bankrupt's liability to pay such sums ceases at the date of the order granting discharge subject to suspension. The punishment imposed by the court was the suspension of discharge, not the continuation of payment obligations. The debtor is therefore only liable for payments up to the date of the discharge order, not until the discharge takes effect after the suspension period.
