The appellant brought a motion to remove counsel for two respondents based on allegations of misconduct in the underlying contempt proceedings.
The respondents brought a cross-motion for security for costs of the appeal.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the removal motion, finding no basis for the allegations and awarding full indemnity costs against the appellant.
The Court also dismissed the motion for security for costs, finding that the appeal raised a non-frivolous legal issue regarding the appellant's ability to purge his contempt after the underlying action had been settled, which involved the liberty of the subject.
