(1) The insolvency court decides on the discharge of residual debt after the end of the regular assignment period. The decision is given after hearing the insolvency creditors, the insolvency administrator or trustee and the debtor. Any order of discharge of residual debt in accordance with sentence 1 is deemed to be made upon the assignment period ending.
(2) If no claims were filed in the insolvency proceedings or the insolvency claims have been satisfied and if the debtor corrected the costs of the proceedings and the other debts incumbent on the estate, then the court, at the debtor’s request, gives a decision on the discharge of residual debt before the end of the assignment period. Subsection (1) sentence 2 applies accordingly. The debtor must show the existence of the conditions under sentence 1 to the satisfaction of the court. If the residual debt is discharged in accordance with sentence 1, then sections 299 and 300a apply accordingly.
(3) At the request of an insolvency creditor and under the conditions specified in section 290 (1), section 296 (1) or (2) sentence 3, section 297 or section 297a, or at the trustee’s request, the insolvency court refuses discharge of residual debt under the conditions specified in section 298.
(4) The order is to be published. The debtor and each creditor who at the hearing referred to in subsection (1) or (2) requested that discharge of residual debt be refused or who asserted that the conditions for the premature discharge of residual debt in accordance with subsection (1) are not met may bring an immediate appeal against such decision.
