- HCCW37/1998
The court held that s.168IA(3) does not empower the court to require attendance for oral examination and accordingly orders made under s.168IA(3) were without jurisdiction and discharged; however s.221 is a broad post‑winding‑up power available to the Official Receiver and may lawfully be used, in the court's discretion, to order examinations of any person to gather information relevant to potential directors' disqualification proceedings, subject to the usual balancing of usefulness against oppression.
