CompFox AI Summary
This en banc review addresses three judgments: a 1996 contempt judgment, a trial court's arrearage judgment, and a 1998 contempt judgment. The court dismisses appeals of the 1996 and 1998 contempt judgments, ruling direct appeal is improper for contempt orders. It reverses the trial court's arrearage judgment, clarifying that civil contempt fines are payable to the court, not private litigants, and Lobingier lacked standing to recover it. However, the court renders judgment holding The Cadle Company, Daniel C. Cadle, and Citizens Against Corrupt Attorneys jointly and severally liable for a $461,000 civil contempt fine, payable to the court, for 922 days of non-compliance with prior turnover orders.
