The Court ruled that the statutory scheme requires an accurate written record and that the Court may direct correction of typographical (and non-substantive grammatical) errors, but a bankrupt may not correct errors of fact in the record because permitting factual corrections would alter the substance of evidence already given, undermine the required spontaneity of answers (s177(4)), and is unnecessary because the bankrupt may add to or clarify evidence during the examination; accordingly corrections are limited to typographical/non-substantive edits directed by the Court.
