Disobeying an order of the court is included under Offences Against the Administration of Justice in the Criminal Code. A court order is a ruling by a judge or justice of the peace, setting out what you must do. These orders can be made in any court. For example, a family court judge could make an order requiring you to pay child support or a criminal court judge could order you to appear for trial on a certain day.
According to the Criminal Code, anyone who, without lawful excuse, disobeys a lawful order made by a court of justice or by a person or body of persons authorized by any Act can be found guilty of:
an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or
an offence punishable on summary conviction.
