Applicability of article
Sec. 1. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), (c), and
IC 34-47-3-8, IC 34-47-2 and IC 34-47-3 apply to all proceedings for
contempt in all courts of record in Indiana except the supreme court.
(b) Nothing in IC 34-47-2 and IC 34-47-3 shall be construed or
held to embrace, limit, or control any proceeding against any officer
or party for contempt for the enforcement of civil rights and
remedies.
(c) IC 34-47-2 and IC 34-47-3 do not apply to any case where any
person has been personally served with notice to appear and testify
as a witness in any court in Indiana in any civil or criminal case. A
court may proceed against a person who fails to appear as a witness
for contempt of court:
(1) by attachment; and
(2) as though IC 34-47-2 and IC 34-47-3 were not in force.
The proceeding against an absent witness by attachment shall not
cause a continuance of the case in which the witness was subpoenaed
to testify.
As added by P.L.1-1998, SEC.43.
