“With respect to items #5 and #6, first, I cannot make an order for a finding of contempt with respect to alleged lies told to a judge at a conference or for allegedly bribing or influencing witnesses. The first requirement for proving contempt is that it must be contempt of a court order. The Applicant has not referred to court orders. There may be different routes to address her concerns about items #5 and #6, but it is not by bringing a motion for contempt of a court order. Further, conferences are confidential. Statements made at conference cannot be disclosed to any other judge except in very limited circumstances. Rule 17(23) states:
(23) No brief or evidence prepared for a settlement conference and no statement made at a settlement conference shall be disclosed to any other judge, except in,
(a) an agreement reached at a settlement conference; or
(b) an order. O. Reg. 114/99, r. 17 (23). [emphasis added]”
