The Court refused orders for interim possession and for police to be authorised to use force because it lacked jurisdiction absent substantive proceedings and no authority was cited; the Court granted an arrest order because the interim injunction was clear, had been served and the contemnor wilfully disobeyed it, proven beyond reasonable doubt, justifying arrest to mark contumelious disobedience and protect the mortgagee's interests.
