The following excerpt is from Majormaki Holdings LLP v. Wong, 2009 BCCA 349 (CanLII):
A similar view was expressed by Chiasson J.A. in his concurring reasons in Frith v. Frith, 2008 BCCA 2, 289 D.L.R. (4th) 337 at para. 32: Contempt of court is very serious: an affront to the court; a danger to the integrity of the legal system. It is not a private matter.
