- This video involves indirect contempt of court, and that's the more typical type that we might think of. It's violating a court order. And I've actually got the statutory definition for that. It is in Title 21, Section 565, and it says, "Indirect contempts of court shall consist of willful disobedience of any process or order lawfully issued or made by the court, resistance willfully offered by any person to the execution of a lawful order or process of a court."
So generally, that means it's a failure to follow a court order. That would generally mean that the court made an order that's been filed with the case, notice has been given to the person, and the person is actively and intentionally violating that court's order. That's indirect contempt of court. That can be filed by the other party that is opposing it. Essentially, that is the person that is aggrieved by the failure to comport with the court's order. That person can file an application for contempt of court that the judge can sign off on, they can be served with, and actually, be held for arraignment.
