The examinations were ordered to be conducted in chambers rather than open court because the liquidator suffered no prejudice from private hearings and the extraordinary nature of examination powers and absence of substantive adversarial proceedings justified privacy; to preserve the integrity of evidence the other examinees were excluded from attending co-examinees' hearings and a prohibition was imposed on communicating questions or answers between examinees until all examinations conclude.
