312. Person or officer being examined to be represented by an attorney-at-law, &c,

A person or officer directed to be examined under the provisions of section 311 shall at his own cost, before being so examined, be furnished with a copy of the report of the official receiver and may at his own cost be represented by an attorney-at-law, who shall be at liberty to put to such person or officer such questions as the court may deem just for the purpose of enabling him to explain or qualify any answers given by him :

Proceedings of the examination held under section 311 shall be reduced to writing and shall be read over to or by, and signed by the person or officer examined, and may thereafter be used in evidence against him and shall be open to the inspection of any creditor or contributory at all reasonable times.

The court may if it thinks fit, adjourn the examination from time to time.
