maltatoday | SUNDAY • 3 JULY 2022 15 LAW CLASSIFIEDS CONTEMPT of court proceed- ings in civil cases are in fact criminal proceedings to ensure that there is public order in court. This was held in the First Hall of the Civil Courts in Id-Di- rettur Qrati Civili u Tribunali bhala Registratur, Qrati Civili u Tribunali -v- Theresa Grima. The Court presided by Judge Joanne Vella Cuschieri and de- livered on 28 June 2022. The Director of Courts filed presented an application and explained that a warrant of sei- zure was filed in a case Marco Muscat et -v- Clafen Limited. The Court Marshal in January 2018 went to execute the war- rant at a particular address. At the address the Court Marshal found Theresa Grima, who did not allow the former to execute the warrant. The same Court Marshall visited a second time and the same thing took place. The Director asked the Court to find Grima guilty of con- tempt of court in terms of Ar- ticle 997 and 1003 of the Code of Organisation and Civil Pro- cedure. The Director asked that the Court fines Grima. Grima failed to reply to this action. The Court quoted from a number of judgements such as Ir-Registratur, Qrati Civili u Tribunali -v- Mario Caruana et of 20 April 2007, which held that the Courts are empowered to issue orders for people ei- ther to do something or not. If these orders are not fol- lowed, then this would consti- tute a contempt of court. Lord Denning has explained that "this kind of contempt has the characteristics which are common to all contempt's of court. It is a criminal offence. It must be proved beyond reasonable doubt". This was the same position in Avukat Irene Bonello -v- L-Onorevoli Prim Ministru decided on 28 February 1997 and Registratur tal-Qrati Superjuri -v- Salvu Bellotti decided on 10 Deceber 2003. The Court analysed the evi- dence produced. The copy of the warrant of seizure did not mention Gri- ma and indicated an address in Msida. On the Court Marshall's first visit nobody had opened for him. On the second visit, the Court Marshall had spoken to Grima who explaine5 d that the prem- ises has nothing to do Calfen Limited, Footloose Catering Limited and Fabio Grima. The Court then ordered that the contempt of court proceed- ings commence against Grima. The Court Marshall testified and explained that the address was a burger place and accord- ing to the Court Marshall Gri- ma did not allow him to do his job. The Court commented that the Court Marshall who testi- fied did not remember precise- ly what took place. There is no evidence on the identity of the person who spoke to the Court Marshalls. The Court Marshall who vis- ited the second time was not certain whether the person concerned was Grima. This evidence on the identity of the person who stopped the Court Marshall in sufficient. There are doubts of the ad- dress the Court Marshalls vis- ited. The warrant mentioned and number of addresses that the warrant had to be executed. There is no evidence to show where this incident occurred. As a result the Court had se- rious doubts on the evidence produced and ruled that the request for contempt of court was turned down.
