Notis menunjukkan sebab
(1) Mahkamah hendaklah mempunyai bidang kuasa untuk memulakan prosiding terhadap mana-mana orang kerana menghina mahkamah dan boleh, dalam prosiding sedemikian, membuat suatu perintah pengkomitan selama tempoh tidak melebihi enam bulan atau boleh mengenakan denda tidak melebihi dua ribu ringgit.
(2) Jika penghinaan dilakukan di dalam Mahkamah, maka tidaklah perlu bagi Mahkamah menyampaikan notis untuk menunjukkan sebab tetapi Mahkamah hendaklah memastikan bahawa orang yang dikatakan melakukan penghinaan itu faham tentang jenis kesalahan yang dikatakan terhadapnya dan diberi peluang untuk didengar untuk
membela dirinya, dan Mahkamah hendaklah membuat suatu rekod yang sepatutnya mengenai prosiding itu.
(3) Dalam hal penghinaan yang dilakukan di luar Mahkamah, notis supaya menunjukkan sebab mengapa tindakan atau prosiding tidak boleh diambil terhadapnya hendaklah disampaikan ke diri orang yang dikatakan melakukan penghinaan itu.
