EDMOND DICK
Coram: Before Justice Oliver A. Saksak
Miss Wendy Wanemay – Clerk
Inspector Wilson D. Garae he Public Prosecutor
Mr Kiel Loughman for the Defendant
SENTENCE
This defendant appears before me today charged with
contempt of a court order. The Court Order is dated 11th
ass="MsoNoMsoNormal" style="margin-top: 1; margin-bottom: 1">
I had the opportunity of seeing the Order. It is a very
wide order which prohibits all or every development including the operation
of a store.
The defendant admits that he bre the order of the
Court in 1987. He did not appeal against the Order. He did not atte attempt
to
have the order varied. He simply went ahead and built a store in a
deliberate and blatant disrespect for the order
of the Court.
For those reasons the Court has to use its powers under
on 23 of the Courts Act [CAP.122] to punish offenders in thin this category
to preserve and maintain the respect and integrity due to the Court.
The appropriate sentence im is a fine of VT8,000. In
default of payment the defendant will be imprisoned for 2 wr 2 weeks.
The defendant indicates that he will pay the fine today.
DATED at Lakatoro this 13th day of November,
