criminal bankruptcy order Where a person is convicted of an offence before the Crown Court, the court may, in addition to dealing with him in any other way, make a criminal bankruptcy order against him. The court must be satisfied that as a result of the offence, loss or damage (not attributable to personal injury) has been suffered by persons whose identity is known to the court and that the amount of the loss or damage exceeds a specified amount. No appeal lies against the making of such an order. A person specified in the order as having suffered loss or damage is treated as a creditor for a debt of that amount provable in the bankruptcy.
