(Past version on 30/06/1997).

(1) If any person who has been directed by the court to attend for public
examination fails to attend at the time and place appointed for holding or
proceeding with the same, and no good cause is shown by him for such failure,
or if before the day appointed for the examination the Official Receiver or
liquidator satisfies the court that such person has absconded, or that there
is reason for believing that he is about to abscond with the view of avoiding
examination, it shall be lawful for the court, upon its being proved to the
satisfaction of the court that notice of the order and of the time and place
appointed for attendance at the public examination was duly served, without
any further notice, to issue a warrant for the arrest of the person required
to attend, or to make such other order as the court shall think just. (See
Form 38) (46 of 2000 s. 40)

(2) A warrant of arrest issued by the court under this rule shall be issued in
the Registry of the High Court pursuant to an order of the court directing
such issue. (25 of 1998 s. 2) (See Form 38A) [cf. R. 64]
