Part 55 Contempt

Division 1 Preliminary

1 Interpretation

In this Part contemnor means a person guilty or alleged to be guilty of contempt of the Court or of any other court.

Division 2 Contempt in the face or hearing of the Court

2 Arrest cf High Court Rules , O 56, r 1 (1).

Where it is alleged, or appears to the Court on its own view, that a person is guilty of contempt of court, committed in the face of the Court or in the hearing of the Court, the Court may—

(a)  by oral order direct that the contemnor be brought before the Court, or

(b)  issue a warrant for the arrest of the contemnor.

rule 55.2: Am 2.6.1972.

3 Charge, defence and determination cf HCR, O 56, r 1 (2).

Where the contemnor is brought before the Court, the Court shall—

(a)  cause him to be informed orally of the contempt with which he is charged,

(b)  require him to make his defence to the charge,

(c)  after hearing him, determine the matter of the charge, and

(d)  make an order for the punishment or discharge of the contemnor.

4 Interim custody

(1)  The Court may, pending disposal of the charge—

(a)  direct that the contemnor be kept in such custody as the Court may determine, or

(b)  direct that the contemnor be released.

cf HCR, O 56, r 1 (3).

(2)  The Court may make a direction under subrule 1 (b) on terms, which may include a requirement that the contemnor give security, in such sum as the Court directs, for his appearance in person to answer the charge.

cf HCR, O 56, r 1 (3).

Division 3 Motion or proceedings for punishment

5 Application cf HCR, O 56, r 2.

This Division does not apply to a case in which the Court proceeds under Division 2.

6 Procedure generally

(1)  Where contempt is committed in connection with proceedings in the Court, an application for punishment for the contempt must be made by motion on notice in the proceedings, but, if separate proceedings for punishment of the contempt are commenced, the proceedings so commenced may be continued unless the Court otherwise orders.

(2)  Where contempt is committed, but not in connection with proceedings in the Court, proceedings for punishment of the contempt must be commenced by summons, but, if an application for punishment of the contempt is made by motion on notice in any proceedings, the application may be heard and disposed of in the latter proceedings, unless the Court otherwise orders.

6.  To provide $      (as in 5), it is necessary to make a call upon the persons settled on the list of contributories, and, having regard to the probability that some of such contributories will partly or wholly fail to pay the amount of such call, I believe that a call of $           per share should be made.
