Boggs v. Boggs

1 Citing case

  1. KHAN v. KHAN

    921 P.2d 466 (Utah Ct. App. 1996)   Cited 5 times
    Stating that contemptuous actions that occur in front of the court are direct contempt

    State v. Long, 844 P.2d 381, 384 (Utah App. 1992). If no such affidavit is presented to the court, indirect contempt cannot be found. See Boggs v. Boggs, 824 P.2d 478, 481-82 (Utah App. 1991) (reversing indirect contempt determination against husband, for his failure to respond to wife's discovery requests, where no charging affidavit was submitted to court). The requirement of an affidavit helps to ensure compliance with the Due Process requirement of adequate and timely notice of the charges made against the alleged contemnor.
