Sommer Motion for Contempt Against John Goldi, Joan Goldi and Goldi Productions Ltd.

UPDATED AUGUST 12, 2020:

On August 20, 2019, Jonathan Sommer filed a motion in Toronto with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to have John Goldi, Joan Goldi and Goldi Productions Ltd. found guilty of contempt. The motion was heard during various court appearances between August 27, 2019 and March 6, 2020. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a return to court for closing arguments has been delayed to a date TBD. The court's March 6, 2020 endorsement reads as follows:

Ontario Superior Court of Justice

March 6, 2020

Sommer v Goldi and Goldi

ENDORSEMENT

Evidence completed in motion that the Goldis be held in contempt for breach of injunction order made by this court.

The Goldis have been in receipt of the injunction orders since August 27, 2019, at the latest: they were provided to them in court by Mr. Sommer at the court’s direction. There is evidence before me of continuing non-compliance – the Goldis would be well-advised to bring themselves into compliance with the injunction by the next return date. This is without prejudice to argument on whether the Goldis are in fact in compliance.

Case adjourned for argument on April 3/20. Also on April 3^rd the court will address the Goldis’ failure to attend the contempt hearing in October 2019, and will conduct a case management conference on the status of all outstanding litigation between Mr. Sommer and the Goldis.

The Goldis are ordered to appear before me on April 3, 2020 at 10:00 am.

[signed Mr. Justice D. L. Corbett]
