Is there any case law where a finding of contempt was based on post-judgment wrongdoing?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from MacIntosh v. MacIntosh, 2008 CanLII 46699 (ON SC):
In para. 56 of the decision in Cooper v. Cooper, supra, Snowie J. makes it clear that, in making his finding of contempt, he did so after concluding that the mother’s testimony was “completely contradictory to all other evidence before this court.” Notwithstanding the comments of Snowie J. in paras. 54 through 57 of his reasons, it is clear that, in making his finding, he looked at and considered post-judgment wrongdoing.
