Statute Text
to 662.130 in which a person is charged with contempt in a court of
this state, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by
an impartial jury wherein the contempt has been committed; provided, this right
shall not apply to contempts committed in the presence of the court or so near
thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice or to the
misbehavior, misconduct or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect
to the writs, orders or process of the court.
(2) The defendant
in any proceeding for contempt of court may file with the court a demand for
the retirement of the judge sitting in the proceeding, if the contempt arises
from an attack upon the character or conduct of such judge and if the attack
occurred elsewhere than in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to
interfere directly with the administration of justice. Upon the filing of any
such demand the judge shall thereupon proceed no further, but another judge
shall be designated as provided by law. The demand shall be filed prior to the
hearing in the contempt proceeding.
(3) Except as
provided in subsections (1) and (2) of this section, proceedings for imposition
of sanctions for contempt shall be conducted as provided under ORS 33.015 to
33.155. [Amended by 1991 c.724 §29]
