§ 753. Power of courts to punish for civil contempts.A. A court of record has power to punish, by fine and imprisonment, or   either,  a neglect or violation of duty, or other misconduct, by which a   right or remedy of a party to a  civil  action  or  special  proceeding,   pending  in the court may be defeated, impaired, impeded, or prejudiced,   in any of the following cases:1. An attorney, counsellor, clerk, sheriff, coroner, or other  person,   in  any  manner  duly  selected  or  appointed  to perform a judicial or   ministerial service, for a misbehavior in his office or trust, or for  a   wilful  neglect  or  violation of duty therein; or for disobedience to a   lawful mandate of the court, or of a judge thereof,  or  of  an  officer   authorized to perform the duties of such a judge.2.  A  party  to  the  action  or  special  proceeding, for putting in   fictitious bail or a fictitious surety, or for any deceit or abuse of  a   mandate or proceeding of the court.3.  A  party  to  the  action  or  special  proceeding,  an  attorney,   counsellor, or other person, for the non-payment  of  a  sum  of  money,   ordered  or  adjudged  by  the  court to be paid, in a case where by law   execution can not be awarded for the collection of such  sum  except  as   otherwise  specifically provided by the civil practice law and rules; or   for any other disobedience to a lawful mandate of the court.4. A person, for assuming to be an attorney or  counsellor,  or  other   officer of the court, and acting as such without authority; for rescuing   any  property  or  person  in  the custody of an officer, by virtue of a   mandate of the court; for  unlawfully  detaining,  or  fraudulently  and   wilfully  preventing,  or  disabling  from  attending  or  testifying, a   witness, or a party to the action or special proceeding, while going to,   remaining at, or returning from, the sitting where  it  is  noticed  for   trial  or  hearing;  and  for  any  other unlawful interference with the   proceedings therein.5. A person subpoenaed as a witness, for  refusing  or  neglecting  to   obey  the  subpoena,  or  to  attend,  or to be sworn, or to answer as a   witness.6. A person duly notified to attend as a  juror,  at  a  term  of  the   court,  for  improperly  conversing with a party to an action or special   proceeding, to be tried at that term,  or  with  any  other  person,  in   relation  to  the  merits  of  that action or special proceeding; or for   receiving a communication from any person, in relation to the merits  of   such an action or special proceeding, without immediately disclosing the   same  to  the court; or a person who attends and acts or attempts to act   as a juror in the place and stead of a person who has been duly notified   to attend.7. An inferior magistrate, or a judge or other officer of an  inferior   court,  for proceeding, contrary to law, in a cause or matter, which has   been  removed  from  his  jurisdiction  to  the  court  inflicting   the   punishment;  or  for  disobedience to a lawful order or other mandate of   the latter court.8. In any other case, where an attachment or any other  proceeding  to   punish for a contempt, has been usually adopted and practiced in a court   of  record, to enforce a civil remedy of a party to an action or special   proceeding in that court, or to protect the right of a party.B. A court not of record has such power to punish for a civil contempt   as is specifically granted to it by statute.
