BETWEEN: URUS INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION Appellant and LIFEGEAR, INC. and PRIDE INTERNATIONAL INC. Respondents REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT (Delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario on February 15th, 2005) SEXTON J.A. [1] We are unable to conclude that the Motions Judge erred in finding the Appellant in contempt by reason of knowingly contravening the Reasons and formal Judgment of Hugessen J. and imposing the fine of $ 10, 000 for contempt in this case. The Motions Judge considered the aggravating circumstances including the fact that the Appellant continued to advertise and sell product for a period of approximately 2 months after release of the Reasons for Judgment of Hugessen J. which clearly enjoined such activity. The Motions Judge further took into consideration the mitigating circumstances including the fact that once a formal order was issued, the Appellant complied reasonably promptly. [2] We see no error in principle in the reasons of the Motions Judge and no misapprehension of the facts and no obvious injustice, nor do we consider the fine imposed to be grossly excessive as argued by the Appellant. The appeal will be dismissed. "J. E. Sexton" J.A.
