Puff v. Puff

Summary

The court upheld the reversal of the contempt order because the alleged violations were either not pleaded, unsupported by competent evidence, or subject to an improperly allocated burden of proof. It also vacated the award of attorney's and expert fees because the trial court failed to find that the plaintiff acted both in bad faith and without any colorable claims. The sanctions issue was remanded for further proceedings before a new judge.
