The applicants brought a motion for penalties arising from the respondent's ongoing contempt of an order requiring him to pass estate accounts.
The respondent brought a cross-motion under Rule 59.06(2) to vary a previous order requiring him to account as attorney for property, arguing he never acted in that capacity.
The respondent's counsel also moved to be removed from the record.
The court granted the motion to remove counsel, found the respondent in ongoing contempt, imposed a $750 fine, and ordered him to purge his contempt within 60 days.
The court deferred a final decision on the Rule 59.06(2) motion, instead ordering the respondent to account for specific transactions in the deceased's joint bank accounts.
