The appeal was allowed and the order for examination in Taiwan set aside because the defendant had emigrated to Taiwan solely to avoid criminal proceedings and therefore had not shown that examination abroad 'appears necessary for the purposes of justice'; the court will not grant an order that effectively aids a fugitive from justice and the defendant must establish necessity to displace the normal requirement of viva voce attendance for assessment of credibility.
