Beckwith and Demarco

In the matter of *Beckwith and Demarco*, heard before Judge Brown, the dispute concerned an application for contempt. The specific details of the underlying substantive proceedings are not detailed in the provided text, but the application for contempt was filed on 16 September 2013.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the conduct of the parties, or one of them, constituted contempt of court. The court was required to assess the evidence presented in relation to the contempt application and determine if the threshold for finding contempt had been met.

Judge Brown dismissed the application for contempt. While the reasons for this dismissal are not elaborated upon in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the court was not satisfied that contempt had been proven. The substantive proceedings were subsequently listed for directions on 24 March 2014, and no order was made as to costs in relation to the dismissed contempt application.
