What is contempt?


Contempt of court is a subject in which restrictions and limits are open to a considerable amount of subjectivity when decisions are made.

EVERY now and then, someone will threaten another with contempt proceedings. Most people who have some idea of the subject will know that being found in contempt of court could result in a person being fined or even imprisoned.
