Title 806 · WI 806
Annotation
Citation: Wis. Stat. § 806.01
Section: 806.01
806.01 Annotation There need not be a specific injunction against the particular action to apply contempt sanctions to an order. An order or judgment that requires specific conduct, either to do, or to refrain from, specific actions, can be enforced by contempt. Neither s. 785.01 (1) nor case law requires that an order contain the specific term âenjoinâ or âinjunctionâ to allow the court to use contempt powers to enforce its orders, nor is the possibility of a separate civil action a bar to use of contempt to enforce a court order. Carney v. CNH Health & Welfare Plan, 2007 WI App 205 , 305 Wis. 2d 443 , 740 N.W.2d 625 , 06-1529 .
