    FCMC4305/2013

    The court found beyond reasonable doubt that the respondent was aware of and wilfully disobeyed the 14‑Sep‑2017 disclosure order and the 2‑Sep‑2015 maintenance order for the period Mar 2016–Oct 2017, and had the means to pay but chose not to, therefore committing civil contempt on counts 1 and 2; the failure to notify a change of address, while actionable under s28A Cap.192 as a statutory offence, did not amount to civil contempt here because no court order to notify was made and no promise to the court was breached.
