Interim relief was declined because the relief sought would improperly permit total non-compliance with statutory information‑gathering powers; the Assignee is entitled to investigate matters including trust and company affairs, confidentiality objections can be asserted and tested at examination or by court, and the balance of convenience and public interest in efficient administration of insolvency favoured the Assignee.
