  • Background: Kenneth Gauthier appealed a Federal Court judgment declaring him guilty of contempt of court under Rule 466(c) of the Federal Courts Rules.

  • Issues: The appeal primarily focused on re-evaluating evidence presented in the Federal Court and the legitimacy of the contempt of court declaration.

  • Findings:

    • The Federal Court of Appeal upheld the lower court's judgment.
    • The Court found no error warranting intervention and concluded that re-evaluating evidence was not within its role.
  • Outcome: The appeal was dismissed with costs, maintaining the lower court's decision and affirming Gauthier's contempt of court status.

  • No financial terms specified.
