So, What is a Public Examination?§
Imagine this: Sherlock Holmes and Poirot teaming up, not to find a murderer, but to unravel the labyrinthine mysteries of a bankrupt debtor’s finances. A Public Examination is just that — a riveting court session where the debt detectives reel in their suspect (the debtor) for a gripping cross-examination.

Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of it all while ensuring you get a few laughs on the way.

- Debtor is Summoned
