Arlington County Circuit Court June 3, 1982, Case No. (Chancery) 31389 (Bunn v. Bunn)

By JUDGE CHARLES H. DUFF

I have carefully considered the question of the right to a jury trial on the cross-affidavits for contempt filed herein. It is my conclusion that under the circumstances, neither party is entitled, as of right, to a jury.

The law distinguishes between criminal and civil contempt and also between direct and constructive contempt.
