Frequently Asked Questions
Contempt of court refers to conduct defined under applicable law that may involve wilful disobedience of a court order or interference with the administration of justice.
Civil contempt generally involves wilful disobedience of a court judgment, decree, direction, order, writ, or other judicial process, or wilful breach of an undertaking given to a court. Criminal contempt concerns conduct falling within the statutory definition, including certain acts that interfere with or obstruct the administration of justice.
Wilful disobedience of a court order may attract contempt proceedings if the legal requirements are met. The court considers the facts, evidence, and applicable law before determining whether contempt has occurred.
The Supreme Court and High Courts have contempt jurisdiction under the Constitution and applicable legislation. Certain subordinate court matters may also be addressed through the relevant High Court in accordance with the law.
Read the notice and underlying court order carefully, preserve relevant documents, and seek legal advice promptly. A response should address the specific allegations and comply with applicable court directions and deadlines.
