Kentucky · Rules of Civil Procedure

Open on EZRCP

Rule text

Compliance with a restraining order or an injunction, other than an injunction granted under RAP 20, may be compelled or its disobedience punished as a contempt by the judge of the court in which the action is pending, or if he is disqualified or absent from his judicial district, by any circuit judge. Upon a showing by affidavit or other evidence of the breach of a restraining order or injunction, the circuit judge may proceed by rule and attachment against the person committing the breach. If an appellate court grants an injunction pending appeal under RAP 20, compliance therewith shall be compelled or disobedience punished by the appellate court.
