THE BEHAVIOURAL AND DYNAMICS SHIFTS OF A VIRTUAL
COURTROOM.
During Melbourne's 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns we had a rather
unusual scenario where we publicly examined nine people in a
virtual courtroom further to a liquidation our Melbourne office
administered. The outcomes were somewhat unexpected.
A public examination is a court-ordered investigation to
discover more information about a company's affairs. They are a
useful investigative tool and the best process to uncover the truth
as, importantly, public examinations are held in court under oath
(and examinees are warned of the perjury consequences). The
examinee's evidence is admissible in future legal proceedings,
however, examinees can claim legal privilege to evidence given when
providing their responses.
