Oregon Statutes - Chapter 33 - Special Proceedings and Procedures - Section 33.125 - Appeal.

(1) The imposition of a sanction for contempt shall be by a judgment.

(2) A judgment in a proceeding for imposition of a remedial sanction may be appealed in the same manner as from a judgment in an action at law. An appeal from a judgment imposing a punitive sanction shall be in the manner provided for appeals in ORS chapter 138. Appeals from judgments imposing sanctions for contempt in municipal courts and justice courts shall be in the manner provided by law for appeals from those courts.

(3)(a) If a motion to initiate proceedings to impose remedial sanctions is filed in a related proceeding under ORS 33.055 (3) before entry of judgment in the related proceeding, and the court determines that the defendant is in contempt, the court may suspend imposition of sanctions and entry of judgment on the contempt until entry of judgment in the related proceeding.

(b) If a motion to initiate proceedings to impose remedial sanctions is filed in a related proceeding under ORS 33.055 (3) before entry of judgment in the related proceeding, and the court denies the motion or declines to impose sanctions, the court shall enter judgment on that denial or determination only as part of the judgment in the related proceeding.

(4) An appeal from a contempt judgment shall not stay any action or proceeding to which the contempt is related. [1991 c.724 §11; 2003 c.576 §233; 2005 c.568 §28]
