9.3 Effect of discharge

The discharge of the trustee releases them from any liability to the creditors in respect of any act or omission in exercising the functions conferred on them by the 1985 Act and the 2016 Act, except for a liability arising from fraud. 

The effect of discharge extends to any previous trustee of the PTD unless there is a contrary ruling to the contrary from a sheriff.
