2006 Utah Code - 78-35-10 — Disobedience of writ -- Punishment.

     78-35-10.   Disobedience of writ -- Punishment.
     When a peremptory writ of mandate or writ of prohibition has been issued and directed to an inferior tribunal, corporation, board or person, if it appears to the court that any member of such tribunal, corporation, board or person upon whom such writ has been personally served has, without just excuse, refused or neglected to obey the same, the court may, upon motion, impose a fine not exceeding $500. In cases of persistence in a refusal of obedience, the court may order the party to be imprisoned until the writ is obeyed, and may make any orders necessary and proper for the complete enforcement of the writ.
