Court found on evidence beyond reasonable doubt that Sean Collins deliberately delayed and misled the Court about the location and control of the sale proceeds and failed to prevent his father accessing the funds, constituting contempt; Angelina Flego was not proved to be contumacious given credible evidence of illness and plausible innocent explanation; Bernard Collins' interfering acts occurred outside New Zealand so the Court lacked jurisdiction to make a contempt finding against him.
