(1) At the trustee’s request, the insolvency court refuses discharge of residual debt if the amounts paid to the trustee for the preceding year of activity do not cover the minimum remuneration and if the debtor does not pay the uncovered amount although the trustee has requested such payment in writing within a period of no less than two weeks and indicating the possibility that the debtor’s discharge of residual debt may be refused. This does not apply if the costs of the insolvency proceedings were deferred in accordance with section 4a.
(2) The debtor is to be heard prior to the decision. The court does not refuse discharge of residual debt if the debtor, at the court’s request, pays the uncovered amount to the trustee within two weeks or the amount is deferred in accordance with section 4a.
(3) Section 296 (3) applies accordingly.
