- Citation
- (2016) 23 PRNZ 153
- Court
- High Court
The first article continued to publish pejorative material concerning the plaintiff and breached both the undertaking and a prior court order; that breach warranted contempt finding and a fine of $1,500. Paragraphs in three later articles referring to the plaintiff without naming him were reckless breaches warranting removal orders but not sufficiently serious or proven wilful conduct to constitute contempt or attract additional penalty.
