— This was an application for committal to prison, including activation of a suspended sentence of imprisonment previously imposed. The court had to decide: (a) Mr. Grundy's capacity to conduct these committal proceedings, to comprehend and make decisions as to the injunction order and the suspended sentence which was handed down on the previous application; (b) whether the four alleged breaches are proven; and (c) whether to deal with sentencing immediately, if capacity is established and the breaches made out.
