15 mins confidence:  
9 hrs confidence: | contempt powers of the court Augstākās Tiesas pilnvaras noteikt sodu par nepakļaušanos tiesu varai
Explanation:
Civilprocesa likuma 153. panta 4. daļa (un arī EuroLex) (nepilnīgi) pārnes šo terminu kā necieņa pret tiesu
(tas attiecas uz personu, kas nav lietas dalībnieks un atkārtoti traucē kārtību tiesas sēdē)
Proti, tas ir LR, un mums ir kodificētā tiesību sistēma, un runa ir par ko ļoti konkrētu tiesas zālē.
Taču paražu tiesību sistēmā (un te man jāslavē salīdzināmo tiesību mācību kursi) šis tas ir savādāk:
Oxford Companion to the US Supreme Court:
Contempt Power of the Courts
A contempt of court is disobedience to a court's order or disrespect to its authority, either in or out of court. Despite the silence of the Constitution on this subject, an inherent power of contempt, derived from common law, has been deemed necessary to insure that federal courts are able to enforce their judgments and orders. The Judiciary Act of 1789 conferred power on federal courts to punish contempts, and they retain that power today by statute and rule.
A civil contempt is the refusal to obey an order in a civil case. Usually the person is ordered into custody or is fined progressively, or both, until the contempt is purged by compliance—for example, by testifying or producing a document. A criminal contempt is an act that cannot be purged, and for which punishment is imposed to vindicate the authority and dignity of the court. A person who commits a criminal contempt may be charged under a statute for a separate crime and separately tried, or may be summarily held in contempt without the rights afforded a criminal defendant.
Procedurally, constitutional rulings have narrowed the authority of the judge to act summarily and have required due process safeguards (see Due Process, Procedural). Substantively, the First Amendment is the most important limit on the contempt authority. In Nebraska Press Association v. Stuart (1976), for example, the Court applied the clear and present danger test to reverse a “gag order” restraining publication of material disclosed before trial that implicated a criminal defendant (see Pretrial Publicity and the Gag Rule).
