October 4, 2019 – Contempt of Court

“The suggestion was raised that the finding of contempt may be an interlocutory order rather than a final order in which case this court would be without jurisdiction to entertain this appeal.

We disagree. This court has consistently held that a finding of contempt is a final order. See Bassel’s Lunch Ltd. v. Kick et al.1936 CanLII 104 (ON CA), [1936] O.R. 445; International Beverage Dispenser’s Union Local 280 v. Kilgoran Hotels Ltd.(c.o.b. Brunswick Hotel), [1970] O.J. No. 389.”
