BEST & BEST (CONTEMPT)

In the matter of *Best & Best (Contempt)*, Le Poer Trench J considered an application for contempt brought by Mr Best against an unnamed respondent. The precise nature of the underlying dispute that led to the contempt application was not detailed in the provided extract.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the conduct of the respondent constituted contempt of court, as alleged by Mr Best. This required the court to assess the evidence presented in support of the contempt application against the relevant legal standards for establishing contempt.

Le Poer Trench J ultimately dismissed Mr Best's contempt application. While the reasons for this dismissal are not elaborated in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the court was not satisfied that the threshold for establishing contempt had been met. The court ordered that the contempt application filed by Mr Best on 16 April 2015 be dismissed.
