The court upheld the Master's limited restriction: an examinee retains the right to seek legal advice generally about the examination but may not, without leave of the court, go through the specific documents supplied by the liquidators with legal advisers prior to the oral s221 examination because doing so poses a real risk of tainting the examinee's evidence and disclosing other examinees' material; leave can be sought identifying the specific areas of advice required.
