The appellants appealed their sentences of four months and two months imprisonment for civil contempt, which arose from their refusal to comply with a Second Anton Piller order.
The appellants introduced fresh evidence demonstrating that they had purged their contempt to the extent possible and expressed remorse.
As the respondents did not oppose the appeal, the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, varying the first appellant's sentence to time served and vacating the second appellant's sentence.
