The court held that transcripts and affidavits from private examinations under section 221 are not admissible in subsequent section 276 proceedings against other persons who did not have the opportunity to be present and take part; the basic common law rule and the principle of fairness require that private examination materials not be used against third parties and the court refused the liquidators' directions application.
