UTCR 19.040

(1) To the extent rules in this chapter are inconsistent with other applicable rules, the

rules in this chapter govern contempt proceedings under ORS 33.015 to 33.155.

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter:

(a) Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure (ORCP) and Oregon Rules of Appellate

Procedure (ORAP) apply respectively to original and appellate contempt

proceedings for remedial sanctions under ORS 33.055;

(b) UTCR that govern civil proceedings apply to original proceedings for remedial

sanctions under ORS 33.055;

(c) UTCR and ORAP that govern criminal proceedings apply respectively to

original and appellate contempt proceedings for punitive sanctions under

ORS 33.065.

(2) On its own motion or that of a party in a contempt proceeding for remedial

sanctions, a court may determine that a specific rule of procedure would not foster

the fair and efficient resolution of the contempt proceeding.

(a) When a court makes that determination, it may modify the specific rule or

adopt a different rule for all or part of the proceeding, so long as the modified

or new rule fosters the fair and efficient resolution of the proceeding. Under

this rule, the court may increase or decrease time limits or may limit or

exclude responsive pleadings, or both, and may also modify other rule

provisions.

(b) The court must give all parties to the proceeding notice that describes the

modified or new rule. The notice must be in writing or on the record or both.
