Power to penalize. No person shall be punished for contempt of the Tribunal unless a judicial member is of the opinion that the finding of contempt and the punishment are appropriate in the circumstances.

Lier les mains des tribunaux en leur refusant le pouvoir de pénaliser les défendeurs qui, d'une manière tyrannique et scandaleuse, font fi du droit des contrats n'est ni sage ni nécessaire.
