Section 282

The court may annul a bankruptcy order if it at any time appears to the court— that, on any grounds existing at the time the order was made, the order ought not to have been made, or that, to the extent required by the rules, the bankruptcy debts and the expenses of the bankruptcy have all, since the making of the order, been either paid or secured for to the satisfaction of the court. The court may annul a bankruptcy order made against an individual on a petition under paragraph (a)... or (c) of section 264(1) or on a bankruptcy application if it at any time appears to the court, on an application by the Official Petitioner— and the court shall annul a bankruptcy order made on a petition under section 264(1)(d) if it at any time appears to the court that the criminal bankruptcy order on which the petition was based has been rescinded in consequence of an appeal. that the petition was pending or the application was ongoing at a time when a criminal bankruptcy order was made against the individual or was presented after such an order was so made, and no appeal is pending (within the meaning of section 277) against the individual’s conviction of any offence by virtue of which the criminal bankruptcy order was made; The court may annul a bankruptcy order whether or not the bankrupt has been discharged from the bankruptcy. Where the court annuls a bankruptcy order (whether under this section or under section 261 ... in Part VIII)— any sale or other disposition of property, payment made or other thing duly done, under any provision in this Group of Parts, by or under the authority of the official receiver or a trustee of the bankrupt’s estate or by the court is valid, but if any of the bankrupt’s estate is then vested, under any such provision, in such a trustee, it shall vest in such person as the court may appoint or, in default of any such appointment, revert to the bankrupt on such terms (if any) as the court may direct; and the court may include in its order such supplemental provisions as may be authorised by the rules. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
