This book combines an account of cases of contempt of court with a balanced assessment of the existing law and the need for change. This is a second edition of a book first published in 1976 and follows developments in the law of contempt and a new Contempt of Law Act 1981. The areas of contempt in the face of the court and contempt by scandalizing the court are covered and examples are given of conduct which may constitute a contempt and the liability of particular classes of individuals. The book has been cited in a number of recent Australian court cases and is aimed at lawyers and students but could be a useful companion for journalists and broadcasters.
