The Plaintiffs brought a motion seeking a finding of contempt against the Defendant Fawad Khan for breaching court orders that restricted the Khan Defendants from bringing motions without leave.
They also sought ancillary orders regarding alternative service for future contempt motions, restraining further motions until outstanding costs were paid, and requiring leave applications to be in writing.
The court found Fawad Khan in contempt for one instance of failing to seek leave before bringing a motion to compel undertakings.
Other contempt allegations, particularly those related to appeals, were dismissed as not falling within the scope of the restrictive orders.
The court granted the request for alternative service for future contempt motions and dispensed with the approval of court orders by the Khan Defendants.
However, it dismissed the request to restrain motions until costs were paid, noting that contempt cannot be used to enforce monetary orders, and affirmed that leave applications should proceed in writing as per the Rules of Civil Procedure.
Costs were awarded to the Plaintiffs, but reduced due to their limited success on the multiple contempt allegations.
