The Court of Appeal allowed the liquidators' appeals, set aside the orders below and dismissed the summonses because the s221 examination transcripts were created for the purpose of obtaining legal advice and are therefore protected by legal professional privilege; privilege cannot be overridden in these circumstances; related companies and third parties have no automatic right of access and no established waiver was shown.
