English Law/Patents Finance (general) bankruptcy

Insolvency proceedings (Bankruptcy) in UK

Effects of the opening of proceedings.

Personal Insolvency

Generally, all debts and liabilities, present or future, certain or contingent, to which the debtor is subject at the date of the receiving order, or to which he may become subject before his discharge by reason of any obligation incurred before the date of the receiving order, constitute debts provable in bankruptcy.

At first I thought "discharge" was about paying the debts, but the wording "his discharge" troubles me. I am not sure if I understand this correctly.

Thanks in advance.
