About: Contumacy

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Contumacy is a stubborn refusal to obey authority or, particularly in law, the willful contempt of the order or summons of a court (see contempt of court). The term is derived from the Latin word contumacia, meaning firmness or stubbornness. In English ecclesiastical law, it was contempt of the authority of an ecclesiastical court and was dealt with by the issue of a writ from the Court of Chancery at the instance of the judge of the ecclesiastical court. This writ took the place of the de excommunicato capiendo in 1813, by an act of George III (see excommunication).

  • Contumacy is a stubborn refusal to obey authority or, particularly in law, the willful contempt of the order or summons of a court (see contempt of court). The term is derived from the Latin word contumacia, meaning firmness or stubbornness. In English ecclesiastical law, it was contempt of the authority of an ecclesiastical court and was dealt with by the issue of a writ from the Court of Chancery at the instance of the judge of the ecclesiastical court. This writ took the place of the de excommunicato capiendo in 1813, by an act of George III (see excommunication). In the U.S., while not expressly mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, the courts have long asserted an inherent power of judges to punish such refusal, which in this context is known as contempt of court. The U.S. Supreme Court recognized federal courts' inherent power to imprison a person for contumacy in United States v. Hudson & Goodwin without a reference to a definition of contumacy in common or statutory law. (en)
  • Kontumaz (lat. contumacia = Eigensinn, Trotz; contumax (Adj.) = unbeugsam, störrisch) ist in der Rechtssprache der Ungehorsam gegen eine gerichtliche Ladung bzw. der Verstoß gegen eine Anwesenheitspflicht. Eine Kontumazentscheidung ist demnach eine Gerichtsentscheidung, die gegen eine nicht erschienene Partei (in contumaciam) ergeht. Sie ist jedoch kein Ordnungsmittel, sondern ermöglicht aus prozessualen Gründen eine Sachentscheidung auch bei Ausbleiben einer Partei. Die Begriffe Kontumaz, Kontumazentscheidung, Kontumazurteil, Kontumazbescheid und ähnliche werden in der deutschen Rechtssprache nur noch selten verwendet, ebenso in Österreich und Liechtenstein. In der Schweiz ist die Verwendung des Begriffs zwar rückläufig, aber im Schweizer Strafprozess noch gebräuchlich. So nimmt etwa das Urteil des Schweizerischen Bundesgerichts vom 14. Juli 2009 Bezug auf das Kontumazialurteil des Kriminalgerichts des Kantons Luzern vom 13. Februar 1998. (de)
  • La contumacia, nel diritto e specialmente nel diritto processuale penale e civile, indica la condizione di chi, pur avendo l'obbligo di costituirsi dinanzi al giudice che esamina un processo che lo riguardi, omette di farlo. La locuzione latina corrispondente, tutt'ora utilizzata, è absente reo (assente il reo). Seppure il significato di più diffusa accezione vi includa l'intenzione dell'interessato di non presentarsi, la contumacia in realtà non descrive in sé il grado di della mancata comparsa in aula, ma si limita a constatare la mancata costituzione del soggetto, potendosi avere contumacia anche in difetto di notifica ed essendosi verificati numerosi casi nei quali il convenuto/imputato non fosse presente perché non al corrente dell'apertura del procedimento a suo carico, situazione che di fatto la regolarità del contraddittorio.

  • In contumaciam (av latinets contumacia, "trots", "tredska") innebär att någon döms för brott i sin frånvaro eller att en dom i civilmål avkunnas trots parts utevaro. Ett exempel på sådana domar i Sverige är tredskodomar. (sv)
  • Contumácia (do latim contumatia; de contumax, "orgulhoso", "soberbo") é a recusa de um acusado em comparecer a juízo quando obrigado ou quando for de seu interesse. Juridicamente, contumácia é a desobediência deliberada em não estar presente, após convocação, a um julgamento. A contumácia também é denominada revelia e o contumaz, revel. No Direito Processual Civil, a revelia ocorre quando o réu não apresenta sua defesa após ser devidamente citado. (pt)
