The court found contempt established based on two statements to the SCIA that breached the protocol in the 2/11/2017 Order; having weighed aggravating and mitigating factors (no proved personal financial benefit, some collateral professional consequences, prior contributions and character, and improper attempt by plaintiffs to file a rebuttal affirmation), the appropriate and proportionate sentence is a financial penalty rather than imprisonment, namely a fine of HK$250,000.
