One of the purposes of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act is to allow the “honest, but unfortunate debtor a fresh start…” If you knowingly refuse to disclose your first bankruptcy do you think “honest” applies to you?

Your trustee will find your prior assignment and then, if they still accept your file, they will likely view everything you tell them with a certain amount of doubt – you only get one chance to make a good impression and by failing to disclose something you are starting on the wrong foot…
