Orders under s.221 should, in normal circumstances, be made on notice to the person to be examined; making such orders ex parte and withholding the liquidator's report and exhibits from the proposed examinee is not justified absent specific, demonstrated reasons. If confidentiality is necessary it must be justified to the judge and access may be conditioned on undertakings, but secrecy as a default practice is unacceptable.
