Craig Wright argued that due to his severe autism and his Christmas schedule, he was unable to attend the December court meeting after being charged with contempt of court in a legal application filed by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA).
The law firm representing COPA, Bird and Bird, claims that Wright violated his ban after deleting online notifications and filing a lawsuit against Jack Dorsey's Square Up and BTC Core.
In addition to this, COPA seeks a stay of Wright's lawsuit, suspending the relevant court proceedings until the contempt of court proceedings are resolved.
"Wright is trying to avoid the consequences of his actions," said Jonathan Hough, a lawyer for COPA. "He may want to avoid the police or avoid detention."
