contempt of court
Title of the Legislative Text
Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, R.S., c. B-3
Provision
192. (3) A registrar has no power to commit for contempt of court.
Problem
The term
"résistance"in the French version is not an appropriate equivalent for
"contempt of court"in the English version. The appropriate term for both legal systems in French is
"outrage".
Solution
In the French version, the term
"résistance"is replaced by
"outrage".
Harmonized Provision
(Amendment to the French version only)
192. (3) Un registraire n'a pas le pouvoir de délivrer un mandat de dépôt pour outrage au tribunal.
