This motion concerned a plaintiff's application to find a defendant in contempt of court for breaching a prior permanent injunction against defamation.
The defendant, who had previously engaged in a relentless and malicious online campaign against the plaintiff, continued to publish defamatory statements despite a court order.
The court found the defendant guilty of contempt, emphasizing that the prior order was clear and unequivocal, and the defendant had actual knowledge and intentionally breached it.
The court also provided directions for the defendant to purge his contempt, including apologizing and removing all offending online content.
Additionally, the decision addressed issues related to the defendant's examination in aid of execution, providing clear instructions for compliance and adjourning the request to examine the defendant's spouse.
