Newman (Number 2): FD 17 Oct 2014

Further application by Council in proceedings for committal of defendant for alleged contempt of court. The defendant having not committed any further breaches, the Council withdrew the second application with the consent of the court.
Held: Given the improvement it was right to take the unusual course of deferring sentence to see whether the defendant continued with his compliance in which case a committal may not be required.
