Defendants consciously decided on 15 May 2007 not to deliver the original documents to the independent auditors until 6 June 2007; that deliberate non‑compliance, even if based on legal advice or belief the order might be invalid, constituted contempt of court. Legal advice does not excuse the breach though it is a mitigating factor when fixing penalty.
