Breach of injunction by corporation – liability of agent

The New South Wales Court of Appeal has held that a director or agent, although not a party, may be guilty of contempt of court for knowingly obstructing the course of justice where a corporation is in breach of an injunction through his actions. The court also confirmed that the 'selling' of property includes entering into a contract for sale. [Case ref: Sigalla v TZ Limited [2011] NSWCA 334.]
