The appeal was dismissed as academic because the appellant had subsequently obtained the inspection relief sought and there was no substantive relief the court could grant; a contingent creditor unable to prove in the liquidation did not have standing under s219 in the circumstances, and the Court would not exercise its discretion to entertain an academic appeal solely to determine costs or an abstract point of law given the exceptional facts.
