I doubt if you would get your fee back but the only reasons that a judge would refuse BR is:
- If you Centre of Main Interests is not the UK i.e. you reside in another EU country (this would normally be picked up by the Bankruptcy Clerk before it got to the judge) - If you hadn't sought professional advice about declaring BR - If the forms weren't filled in correctly (this would normally be picked up by the Bankruptcy Clerk before it got to the judge) - If you were in an IVA that hadn't failed.
During the OR's interview/investigations they also have the power to request the judge annuls the BR if you are not insolvent i.e. your income is greater than your outgoings at the time you declared BR.
I agree - as far as I know you wouldn't get your fees back if BR wasn't allowed. However if you have taken advice before going to court this shouldn't be an issue.
Tomorrow is a mystery, yesterday is history, today is the present, a gift to make the most of.
if the judge decides i cannot declare bankrupt
