So, you know 3 guys have been charged with contempt of court for the implication of their kangaroo-in-judge’s-robe T-shirts. Today has this article on this issue.
According to the article, "(t)he men had not been allowed inside the courtroom because of their T-shirts".
If you are NOT INSIDE a courtroom during a court procedure, how do you get charged with contempt of court? I thought contempt of court is DURING a court proceeding, when you are present in the court. This is my understanding from all the TV dramas i’ve watched. And these guys were OUTSIDE Court No 4B. If you "insult" the court outside the courtroom, this charge cannot be applied right?
Obviously, i am no lawyer (though i have been contemplating taking up the part-time distance learning Law degree from UOL), but i think i am making sense. What say you?
