Counsel to the Contemnors urged the court for a short adjournment to enable the court hear it before February 25, being the general elections, but the court made it clear that the matter did not fall within the purview of a pre-election matter. 


The matter was adjourned to March 13, 2023 for Hearing of the Motion for Committal.
