For example, a party who refuses to turn over documents requested during discovery may find themselves charged with civil contempt of court. As a result of this charge, the party refusing to turn over documents may find themselves subject to a fine and/or temporarily imprisoned.
Contempt of court is an act of disrespect or disobedience toward a court or interference with its orderly process. Examples include disrupting court proceedings, interfering with attempts to obtain evidence, destroying evidence, disobeying a court order, and intimidating witnesses.
Contempt of court, also referred to simply as contempt is the disobedience of an order of a court.
Upon a hearing for the contempt action, a judge may order the defendant to make a payment of all arrearages outstanding on the date of the hearing and may impose orders for failure to make such payments, such as a jail sentence.
A person may be held in contempt in a number of ways. The legal sense may be defined as willful disobedience to or open disrespect of a court, judge, or legislative body. In a general sense if you hold someone in contempt it simply means that you despise or strongly disapprove of them.
