This is the penalty phase of a civil contempt proceeding.
The respondent, an unlicensed individual, was found to have breached a permanent injunction by misusing a licensed professional engineer's seal on building permit applications submitted to the City of Windsor.
The respondent misappropriated the seal on 29 of 48 pages bearing the engineer's seal, placed seals on drawings never prepared by the licensed engineer, altered dates on drawings, and resubmitted them as updated documents.
The court imposed a 14-day custodial sentence, finding the breach was knowing, deliberate, and repeated over several years.
The respondent showed no genuine remorse, continued to deny wrongdoing, and failed to comply with multiple court orders throughout the proceedings.
The court also awarded substantial indemnity costs of $21,144.85 payable in quarterly installments of $3,000 commencing January 1, 2026.
