Section 139V — Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth)

If the trustee has reasonable grounds to suspect that:

(a) any particulars set out in the statement given by the bankrupt under subsection 139U(1) are false or misleading in a material respect; or

(b) any material particulars have been omitted from that statement;

then, for the purpose of enabling the trustee to decide whether the particulars set out in the statement are correct, the trustee, by written notice given to the bankrupt, may require the bankrupt to give to the trustee within a specified period of not less than 14 days such information or books as are specified in the notice.
