249.—(1) Where on the hearing of a debtor’s petition the High Court makes a bankruptcy order and the case is as specified in paragraph (2), the Court shall, if it appears to it appropriate to do so, issue a certificate for the summary administration of the bankrupt’s estate.
(2) The case mentioned in paragraph (1) is where it appears to the High Court—
(a)that if a bankruptcy order were made the aggregate amount of the bankruptcy debts so far as unsecured would be less than the small bankruptcies level (within the meaning of Article 247), and
(b)that within the 5 years immediately preceding the presentation of the petition the debtor has neither been adjudged bankrupt nor made a composition with his creditors in satisfaction of his debts or a scheme of arrangement of his affairs,
whether the bankruptcy order is made because it does not appear to the Court as mentioned in Article 247(1)(b) or (d), or it is madebecause the Court thinks it would be inappropriate to make an interim order under Article 226.
(3) The High Court may at any time revoke a certificate issued under this Article if it appears to it that, on any grounds existing at the time the certificate was issued, the certificate ought not to have been issued.
