Can a non-party fisher be held in criminal contempt for failing to comply with a court order?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Baker, 641 F.2d 1311 (9th Cir. 1981):
However, we hold that non-party fishers must have actual notice of it before they can be held in criminal contempt. Persons bound by a court order may be found in criminal contempt for violating it only if the order is clear and definite, and the contemnor has knowledge of it. United States v. Powers, 629 F.2d 619, 627 (9th Cir. 1980).
