The plaintiff brought a motion for contempt of court, alleging the defendants breached interim and interlocutory orders by continuing to cut down trees on the leased property and posting defamatory videos online.
The court applied the three-part test for civil contempt and found beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants intentionally breached the clear and unequivocal orders.
The defendants were given an opportunity to purge their contempt by complying with the orders and removing all offending videos, failing which they could face incarceration or eviction.
The defendants' counterclaim was stayed pending compliance.
