On the philosophical side, this is a risk every professional

I think it has been said that the language used in the

'But isn't the contempt more serious if the lawyers advice is ignored'

But isn't the contempt more serious if the lawyers advice regarding the court
order is ignored?

Shouldn't the lawyers notify the court that their order was fully explained to
the client and the client chose to 'interpret it'?

Shouldn't the judge order that the CEO of Apple UK be present to explain why the
courts orders were willfully ignored and why contempt charges shouldn't be
filed?

Personally, i'd like to see a tougher approach taken by the courts as the class
of lawyers acting on Apple UK behalf are at the top of their field so their
advice should not be willfully ignored in such a contemptuous manner by a
client.
