Contempt of Court
This new edition has been completely revised and update to encompass the enormous developments in the law of contempt.
Contempt of Court
A number of high-profile cases involving contempt of court have recently highlighted the need for a review of this area of the law. These include: a juror who was found to have researched the defendant on the internet; the first internet contempt by publication, which concerned the posting of an incriminating photograph of a defendant on a website; contempt proceedings for the vilification of Chris Jefferies during the investigation into the murder of Joanna Yeates; and proceedings for contempt by publication following the collapse of the prosecution of Levi Bellfield. Contempt of court covers a wide variety of conduct which undermines or has the potential to undermine the course of justice,...

The Law of Contempt
This book seeks to set the Contempt of Court Act 1981 clearly in its historical context. The statute makes no claim to be a complete code. It amends existing law in some respects and otherwise leaves it untouched. This has always been the way. The law of contempt has developed piecemeal over the years, often with scant regard to general principles.

Where, as so often, neither statute nor precedent provides a clear answer, the authors seek to suggest one. The 1981 Act applies (in some respects differently) to the whole of the United...
