Contempt of Court is a ludicrous concept- H. Beatty Chadwick was divorced, and at the sole accusation of his wife, the court ordered him to pay her $2.5 million allegedly stored in offshore bank accounts.

It has no current purpose except giving the court power where it should have none. CoC needs to see serious reform.
