Public examination orders require appearance before the Judge or authorised officer and permit directions on specific matters to be asked. An order for a public examination requires appearance before the Judge unless the Judge directs that the whole or part be held before an authorised officer; if the date is unfixed the Official Liquidator must obtain an appointment with the Judge or officer, and the order must follow the prescribed form. The Judge may direct specific matters for examination either in the original or by subsequent order, providing supervisory control over the scope of questioning.
