SUMMARY:Book launch: Contempt
DESCRIPTION:Book launch: Contempt\nIn-person event \nThe University of Sydney Law School and The Federation Press are delighted to invite you to the launch of Contempt by David Rolph. The book considers all forms of contempt\, including civil contempt\, sub judice contempt\, contempt in the face of the court\, scandalising the court and interference with the administration of justice as an ongoing process. It examines the difficult issue of the distinction between civil and criminal contempt. It considers not only contempt of superior courts of record but also examines the contempt powers of a range of inferior courts and tribunals. The book also analyses the procedure and penalties for contempt of court. \nThe book will be launched by The Honourable Andrew Bell\, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of NSW. The launch will be followed by a cocktail reception. \nAbout Contempt \nContempt of court is a vitally important part of the administration of justice. Being a summary jurisdiction\, the law of contempt often needs to be applied swiftly and is not regularly the subject of appeal. There are many complexities and idiosyncrasies about the law of contempt\, which have developed over centuries. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the Australian law of contempt of court. It provides a rigorous but accessible exposition of the fundamental principles of this somewhat arcane area of law. \nThe book considers all forms of contempt\, including civil contempt\, sub judice contempt\, contempt in the face of the court\, scandalising the court and interference with the administration of justice as an ongoing process. It examines the difficult issue of the distinction between civil and criminal contempt. It considers not only contempt of superior courts of record but also examines the contempt powers of a range of inferior courts and tribunals. The book also analyses the procedure and penalties for contempt of court. \nThe book will be available for purchase on the evening. \nFind out more about the book and order it online here.  \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nTuesday 7 November 2023\nTime: 5.30-7pm (including a cocktail reception) \nVenue: Banco Court\, Supreme Court of New South Wales \,184 Phillip Street\, Sydney \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \n\n\nAbout the author \nDavid Rolph is a Professor at the University of Sydney Law School\, specialising in media law.
