Breach of the injunction was a serious contempt even though the offending advertisement had been removed (contempt purged); absence of concrete evidence of impecuniosity justified imposing the normal penalty: 14 days' imprisonment for the director (2nd contemnor) and a fine of HK$50,000 against the corporate contemnor (1st contemnor) in lieu of sequestration; contemnors ordered to pay plaintiff's costs on an indemnity basis.
