A person who intentionally contravenes a restraining order by disposing
of, or otherwise dealing with, property that is subject to the restraining
order is guilty of an offence punishable, upon conviction, by:

imprisonment for a period not exceeding 5 years, or both; or

disposition or dealing be set aside.
