TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
§ 403
1 Section repealed by Pub. L. 106–568 without corresponding
amendment of chapter analysis.
person or persons. Section 22 of said act, section 387 of
title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Judicial Code and Judiciary,
regulated the procedure and provided for the punish-
ment of contempts. Section 24 of said act, section 389 of
title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Judicial Code and Judiciary,
limited the application of these sections to certain
kinds of contempt.
In transferring these sections to this title and in con-
solidating them numerous changes of phraseology were
necessary which do not, however, change their meaning
or substance. Words ‘‘corporation or association’’ were
inserted after ‘‘any person’’ in substitution for the defi-
nition provisions of section 390a of title 28, U.S.C., 1940
ed., Judicial Code and Judiciary, which read as follows:
‘‘The word ‘person’ or ‘persons’ wherever used in sec-
tions 381–383, 386–390a of this title, sections 12, 13, 14–19,
20, 21, 22–27 and 44 of title 15, and section 412 of title 18
shall be deemed to include corporations and associa-
tions existing under or authorized by the laws of either
the United States, the laws of any of the Territories,
the laws of any State, or the laws of any foreign coun-
try.’’
The words ‘‘any person, corporation, or association,’’
unqualified except by the context of the section mean
all that the more lengthy definition included. Only
those persons, corporations, and associations who were
parties to the order or had actual notice of it may be
punished for contempt. (See McCauly v. First Trust &
Savings Bank, C.C.A. Ill. 1921, 276 F. 117. See, also Na-
tional Labor Relations Board v. Blackstone Mfg. Co.,
C.C.A. 1941, 123 F. 2d 633.) The fact
