Section 52-468 - Commitment for contempt; application for discharge.


CT Gen Stat § 52-468 (2012) What's This?

The court may commit to prison, for any contempt of which the respondent has been guilty in this proceeding, for a period not exceeding sixty days; and the respondent may, at any time within such time of imprisonment, appear before the court which made the order of commitment, and apply for a discharge from imprisonment, which the court may, for sufficient cause shown, direct.

(1949 Rev., S. 8204; 1967, P.A. 656, S. 48; P.A. 78-280, S. 111, 127.)

History: 1967 act substituted “when the court is not sitting” for “in vacation”; P.A. 78-280 removed judges from purview of section and deleted distinctions re procedure depending on whether court is in or out of session, reflecting fact that court now sits continuously.
