Oregon Contempt of Court is a term used to describe a violation of a court order or a disruption of court proceedings. It is a criminal offense that can be punished by fines, imprisonment, or both. There are three types of Oregon Contempt of Court: direct contempt, indirect contempt, and constructive contempt. Direct contempt occurs when a person disobeys a court order, interrupts court proceedings, or speaks in an offensive manner to a judge or other court personnel. Indirect contempt occurs when a person fails to obey a court order outside the courtroom. Constructive contempt occurs when a person fails to comply with a court order after being given sufficient time to do so. In Oregon, Contempt of Court can be punished by fines of up to $10,000, imprisonment of up to 6 months, or both. Depending on the severity of the offense, the judge may also impose additional sanctions such as community service or a probation period.
