Allison GillHOST
So the court imposed no consequences on Hoskins, and that's normal.
Allison GillHOST
Contempt is not punitive.
Allison GillHOST
It cannot be punitive.
Allison GillHOST
Criminal contempt is punitive.
Sarah AzariGUEST
I mean, I think in this scenario, and by the way, I think that's why Reddington was pissed off and just like slammed the papers on the, and I just thought, only Reddington can do this, you know, with his white mirror and his, you know, not to be ageist, but like, I could never get rid of that.
Sarah AzariGUEST
Contempt,
Ashleigh BanfieldHOST
Mrs. Ari, lock her up, right? Yeah.
Ashleigh BanfieldHOST
I'd
Matt DillonVOICE_ACTOR
You'll be in...
Matt DillonVOICE_ACTOR
Contempt the court if you refuse.
JaneVOICE_ACTOR
Then I'll lie.
JaneVOICE_ACTOR
Anyway, I did go of my own free will.
Tim DilenaHOST
Mr. Williams pled guilty to a felony drug charge, and while the judge was delivering the sentence, Mr. Williams let out an incriminating yawn with both hands in the air stretching.
Tim DilenaHOST
That man received right there on the spot six months of jail time for contempt of court, the maximum penalty for contempt.
Tim DilenaHOST
Do you know what contempt of court is? Contempt is the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath my consideration or unworthy of respect.
Tim DilenaHOST
God visited Philistia for seven months and Beth Shemesh for days, and both places are held in contempt.
Tim DilenaHOST
Instead of being in awe, they in a sense yawn.
Patty RadicanGUEST
And if you believe, have a good faith belief that the judgment debtor has transferred property to a third party, you can ask for a judgment debtor exam of the third party also.
Patty RadicanGUEST
Contempt, that could be a whole day seminar all by itself.
Patty RadicanGUEST
But as a judicial officer, I didn't like contempt cases because most of the time people didn't know how to plead them properly.
Patty RadicanGUEST
They misquoted the date of the order.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
However...
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Contempt required more than deliberate non-compliance.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Her explanation, that she genuinely believed relocation would benefit the children, was relevant to willfulness and malefides, and the applicant had not proved beyond reasonable doubt that she intended to defy the court's authority.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Contempt therefore failed.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
Interesting.
Louis PodbielskiHOST
So the relocation dispute itself could not responsibly be decided on the urgent papers.
Rajeev MenonGUEST
Um, and of course, uh, you've already highlighted the fact that I'm the first lawyer, as far as I'm aware, as far as my lawyers are aware, ever to be prosecuted for contempt of court in this, in British legal history.
Rajeev MenonGUEST
And I just feel that, um, uh, it's important that I, I have a voice in this, and that I, um, at least address some of the matters i- in general terms that I'm accused of, as opposed to simply waiting m- for, you know, for my opportunity in court months from now to say what I need to say.
Anjali KamatHOST
And Rajeev, can you explain what the, why these contempt charges are being brought against you? What exactly did you say that was considered contempt of court?
Rajeev MenonGUEST
So I made a closing speech in a, uh, Palestine Action protest case, as you said, on the 8th of January this year, uh, on behalf of my client, Charlotte Head, who was one of those engaged in direct action against the Elbit Systems factory.
Rajeev MenonGUEST
And, um, the, the, the judge subsequently made Seven specific allegations of contempt, uh, uh, against me.
Katie PhangGUEST
We, we were only there to chime in once in a while and to make sure that the judge understood kind of what our position was on stuff when he asked us.
Katie PhangGUEST
But when the judge started this anecdotal journey, I literally asked [laughs] one of my lawyers, I'm like, "What is going on?" Because I didn't understand, and he started the anecdote, Allison, by saying, "Contempt has become an issue in this case." And I was like, "Yeah." And then he's like, "Because the plaintiff has raised it." I'm like, "Yeah." And then he's like, "And I just wanna make sure that, you know, everybody understands that nobody's in trouble." And then he kept on saying, "Because contempt is very serious, and, you know, it should not be said lightly-
Allison GillHOST
That's something else he drove home, is how serious it is, how it follows a lawyer around if they ever try to do anything-
Katie PhangGUEST
Oh, it's a huge stain
Allison GillHOST
Hold him in contempt now."
Katie PhangGUEST
[laughs]
Allison GillHOST
Contempt, contempt, contempt.
Allison GillHOST
Uh, but for him to illustrate how rare it is, that he's only done it once, uh, against the DOJ attorneys in his life on the ... 41 years on the bench.
