Section 35

An order of discharge shall not release the bankrupt from any debt due to the Government, or from any debt with which the bankrupt may be chargeable at the suit of the Government, or of any person for any offence against an Act relating to any branch of the public revenue, or at the suit of the Sheriff or other public officer on a bail bond entered into for the appearance of any person prosecuted for any such offence.

A bankrupt may be discharged from such excepted debts by a certificate in writing of the Minister.

An order of discharge shall not release the bankrupt from any debt or liability incurred by means of fraud or fraudulent breach of trust to which he was a party, or from any debt or liability whereof he has obtained forbearance by any fraud to which he was a party.

An order of discharge shall not release any person who at the date of the receiving order was a partner or co-trustee with the bankrupt, or was jointly bound, or had made any joint contract with him or any person who was surety or in the nature of a surety for him.

An order of discharge shall release the bankrupt from all other debts provable in bankruptcy.

An order of discharge shall be conclusive evidence of the bankruptcy and of the validity of the proceedings therein, and in any proceedings that are instituted against a bankrupt who has obtained an order of discharge in respect of any debt from which he is released by the order the bankrupt may plead that the cause of action occurred before his discharge.
