    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV295/2003

    Order 38 r 2(3) applies to bankruptcy proceedings; the judge correctly exercised his discretion to order the respondent to attend for in-person cross-examination because the contested issues of domicile and residence required testing of subjective intention and credibility; VCF was properly refused given the respondent's prior wilful refusal to attend and the need to preserve court solemnity and immediate sanction; if the respondent fails to attend his affidavits are to be excluded.
