4. (1) Subject to paragraph (2) of this rule, the Court hearing an application for an order of committal may sit in private in the following cases, that is to say(a) where the application arises out of proceedings relating to the wardship or adoption of an infant or wholly or mainly to the guardianship, custody maintenance or upbringing of an infant or right of access to an infant; (b) where the application arises out of proceedings relating to a person suffering or appearing to be suffering from mental disorder; (c) where the application arises out of proceedings in which a secret process, discovery or invention was in issue; (d) where it appears to the Court that in the interests of the administration of justice or for reasons of national security the application should be heard in private; but except as aforesaid, the application shall be heard in open court. (2) If the Court hearing an application in private by virtue of paragraph (1) of this rule, decides to make an order of committal against the person sought to be committed, it shall in open court state(a) the name of that person; (b) in general terms the nature of the contempt of court in respect of which the order of committal is being made; and (c) if he is being committed for a fixed period, the length of that period. (3) Except with the leave of the Court hearing an application for an order of committal, no grounds shall be relied upon at the hearing except the grounds set out in the statement under rule 2 of this Order. (4) If on the hearing of the application the person sought to be committed expresses a wish to give oral evidence on his own behalf he shall be entitled to do so. 5. The foregoing provisions are without prejudice to the powers of the Court to commit for contempt committed in the face of the Court. 6. (1) The Court by whom an order of committal is made may by order direct that the execution of the order of committal shall be suspended for such period or on such terms or conditions as it may specify. (2) Where execution of an order of committal is suspended by an order under paragraph (1) of this rule, the applicant for the order of committal shall, unless the Court otherwise directs, serve on the person against whom it was made a notice informing him of the making and terms of the order under that paragraph. 7. (1) The Court may, on the application of any person committed to prison for any contempt of court, discharge him. (2) Where a person has been committed for failing to comply with a judgment or order requiring him to deliver anything to some other person or to deposit it in court or elsewhere, and a writ of sequestration has also been issued to enforce that judgment or order, then, if the thing is in the custody or power of the person committed, the sheriff may take possession of it as if it were the property of that person and, without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1) of this rule, the Court may discharge the person committed and may give such directions for dealing with the thing taken by the sheriff as it thinks fit. 8. Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this Order shall be taken as affecting power of the Court to make an order requiring a person guilty of contempt of court, or a person punishable by virtue of any enactment in like manner as if he had been guilty of contempt of court to pay a fine or to give security for his good behaviour, and those provisions, so far as applicable, and with necessary modifications, shall apply in relation to an application for such an order as they apply in relation to an application for an order of committal.
