Bedgar v. Wilson

Citations

2026 ND 51

Syllabus

An admission of nonpayment of some, if not all, claimed obligations owed under a judgment can be enough to support a contempt finding. Remedial sanctions for contempt cannot be broader than necessary to address the specific contemptuous conduct, that is, the sanctions must be compensation for actual losses caused by the contempt or have a nexus to either compelling future compliance.

Judges: Jensen, Jon J.
