Respondent was found to have deliberately and comprehensively published material in breach of a suppression order, and given his persistent and obdurate history of similar conduct no response short of imprisonment would adequately reflect the seriousness or provide deterrence; a term of six weeks' imprisonment was therefore imposed, with a two-week stay to allow lodging of an appeal.
