BillHicksRules, the judgment on the Contempt of Court issue was delayed because the judge was not ready and at least one supplementary document was submitted to the court on Wednesday last. The press reports also make it clear the judgment is due on Wednesday next. The contempt, if it is found to have taken place, is not removed by virtue of Captain Goss going back flying, but rather the contempt will simply have ceased on the day he went back flying. In other words, the contempt issue cannot go away and there must be a finding by the judge.

Also, there is still another Contempt of Court issue still to be heard in the High Court. Here again the fact that the contempt will have stopped when the trial takes place is not the issue. The issue will be: was there contempt, and for how long did it last? This saga has still got legs and we can expect it to take us into June.
