Plaintiff found in civil contempt for intentionally breaching injunctions prohibiting the use of defendants' conduit.
The defendants brought a motion for contempt against the plaintiff, alleging the plaintiff breached interim and interlocutory injunctions prohibiting the use, removal, or modification of conduit supplied and installed by the defendants.
The court applied the three-part test for civil contempt and found beyond a reasonable doubt that the orders were clear, the plaintiff had knowledge of them, and the plaintiff intentionally breached the orders by connecting fibre optic cable in the prohibited conduit.
The plaintiff was found in contempt, with the penalty phase to follow.
Judicial review of human rights decision dismissed; no procedural unfairness in admitting radio interview evidence.
The applicants sought judicial review of a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decision finding they discriminated against the respondents on the basis of sex, gender identification, and sexual orientation.
The applicants argued the adjudicator breached procedural fairness by admitting a radio interview, awarded unreasonable damages, and erred in finding personal liability.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding no procedural unfairness as the applicants were aware of the evidence and did not object, and holding that the damages and personal liability findings were reasonable.
