In the US you can receive 6 months in jail for contempt. Perhaps the company should cease trading for the same period.

- throwaway17_17 4y agoThat is for each count of contempt and each incident of said contempt, in theory every refusal is a new count. I had a trial in February with a witness who refused to answer any questions, each refusal was ruled a contempt and the Judge settled at 7.5 years total for all the refusals (judge later amended to 3 years, but it is on appeal at the moment). All that to say, it could be more severe but it is unlikely that any jail will result. *Not Legal Advise*
