  • Can a judge put my ex in jail for not complying with a court order? Yes! ... But not easily.

    This week we discuss a case on civil contempt: 2023 ABKB 58 https://canlii.ca/t/jv6jd In the case, the ex husband is found in civil contempt for failing to comply with a court order and arbitration award.  The problem?  He refused to remove a Certificate of Pending Litigation (lien) on title to one of the parties' real properties.  The court ordered that the ex husband be imprisioned until he purged his contempt (dischared the lien from title).  It's an extreme remedy for an extreme set of circumstances.
