In the case of Ex parte IN THE MATTER OF FULLER et al., INDIVIDUALLY AND AS COPARTNERS UNDER THE NAME OF E.M. FULLER & COMPANY, Petitioners, 1922, the petitioners were charged with contempt for refusing to answer questions and produce documents in a bankruptcy proceeding. The Supreme Court held that they could not refuse to testify on the grounds that their testimony might incriminate them under state law because federal immunity statutes protected them from prosecution based on any evidence they provided. The court also ruled that this protection extended to corporations as well as individuals. However, it was clarified by Justice Brandeis' dissenting opinion stating such immunity does not extend if there is a possibility of prosecution under state laws which do not recognize federal immunity provisions.
