Anyone can file a complaint against a person who has made scandalizing remarks or otherwise stood in contempt against the judiciary.1 However, the contempt proceeding only happens between the court and the alleged offender. The complainant is only an informer, whose duty ends after informing the court. It is open to the court to determine whether or not to act on such information and thereby initiate contempt proceedings.2
