Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
CONTUMACY (Lat. contumacia, obstinacy; derived from the root tem-, as in temnere,' t'o_despise, or possibly from the root tum-, as in tumere, to swell, with anger, &c.) , a stubborn refusal to obey authority, obstinate resistance; particularly, in law, the wilful contempt of the order or
summons
  of a
court
  (see CONTEMPT OF
COURT
 ). In ecclesiastical law, the contempt of the authority of an ecclesiastical court is dealt with by the issue of a writ de contumace capiendo from the court of
chancery
  at the instance of the judge of the ecclesiastical court; this writ took the
place
  of that de excommunicato capiendo in 1813, by an act of George III. c. 127 (see
ExcoMMUNICATION
 ).
