Television spots covered by Judge Jennifer L. Rochon's temporary order continued airing after the deadline to stop them, according to reporting based on AdImpact data reviewed by the plaintiffs. Reporting attributed the delay to a communication problem rather than a declared refusal to obey the court. No contempt ruling is established by the cited sources. The episode is therefore recorded as a compliance event following the restraining order, not as a finding of criminal or personal liability.
