If a motion is brought for contempt against the Attorney General, which is unrelated to the matter with which the contempt is concerned, what is the current state of the law?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Morelli, In re, 11 Cal.App.3d 819, 91 Cal.Rptr. 72 (Cal. App. 1970):
9 (See 60 A.L.R.2d 1247, where, citing MacDermid v. MacDermid, 116 Vt. 237, 73 A.2d 315, it states: 'The court said however, that in any situation in which contempt proceedings are sought to be predicated upon a suit . . . which was entirely independent and constituted a separate litigation from the matter with which the contempt proceedings are concerned, a new service of process, as in the institution of an original proceeding, would be necessary.')
