Contempt of court refers to behavior or actions that disrespect or obstruct the authority, dignity, or proceedings of a court. In New South Wales (NSW), contempt of court can include various actions, such as:

Disobeying a court order or judgment.
Interrupting or disrupting court proceedings.
Misbehaving or showing disrespect towards the judge, lawyers, or other participants in the court process.
Publishing material that could prejudice ongoing court cases.
Interfering with witnesses or evidence.

Contempt of court is taken seriously as it undermines the integrity of the judicial system. It is considered an offense that can result in penalties, including fines or even imprisonment, depending on the severity of the contemptuous behavior.
