An adjudicator may at any time during the determination period request from the debtor information that the adjudicator considers necessary for the purpose of determining whether a bankruptcy order must be made.
The adjudicator may specify a date before which information requested under subsection (1) must be provided; but that date must not be after the end of the determination period.
If the rules so prescribe, a request under subsection (1) may include a request for information to be given orally.
The rules may make provision enabling or requiring an adjudicator to request information from persons of a prescribed description in prescribed circumstances.
