331.—(1) The bankrupt shall be guilty of an offence if—
(a)either alone or jointly with any other person, he obtains credit to the extent of the amount specified by order under Article 362(1)(b) or more without giving the person from whom he obtains it the relevant information about his status; or
(b)he engages (whether directly or indirectly) in any business under a name other than that in which he was adjudged bankrupt without disclosing to all persons with whom he enters into any business transaction the name in which he was so adjudged.
(2) The reference to the bankrupt obtaining credit includes the following cases—
(a)where goods are bailed to him under a hire‐purchase agreement, or agreed to be sold to him under a conditional sale agreement, and
(b)where he is paid in advance (whether in money or otherwise) for the supply of goods or services.
(3) A person whose estate has been sequestrated in Scotland, or who has been adjudged bankrupt in England and Wales, shall be guilty of an offence if, before his discharge, he does anything in Northern Ireland which would be an offence under paragraph (1) if he were an undischarged bankrupt and the sequestration of his estate or the adjudication in England and Wales were an adjudication under this Part.
(4) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a), the relevant information about the status of the person in question is the information that he is an undischarged bankrupt or, as the case may be, that his estate has been sequestrated in Scotland and that he has not been discharged.
[F1(5) This Article applies to the bankrupt after discharge while a bankruptcy restrictions order is in force in respect of him.
(6) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a) as it applies by virtue of paragraph (5), the relevant information about the status of the person in question is the information that a bankruptcy restrictions order is in force in respect of him.]
