- High Court
Although published material on the laudafinem websites breached the non-publication orders and the material suggested awareness of the orders, the court could not find contempt beyond reasonable doubt against an unidentified defendant; procedural fairness requires the alleged contemnor be identified, joined and given notice and opportunity to respond before a contempt finding and penalty; therefore the application for contempt is declined in the absence of an identified defendant.
