(1) The imposition of a sanction for contempt shall be by a judgment. (2) A judgment in a proceeding for imposition of a remedial sanction may be appealed in the same manner as from a judgment in an action at law. An appeal from a judgment imposing a punitive sanction shall be in the manner provided for appeals in ORS chapter 138. Appeals from judgments imposing sanctions for contempt in municipal courts and justice courts shall be in the manner provided by law for appeals from those courts. (3) If a proceeding to impose remedial sanctions is related to another proceeding as described in ORS 33.055 (3) and the court determines, before entry of judgment in the related proceeding, that the defendant is in contempt, the court may suspend impositions of sanctions and entry of judgment on the contempt until entry of judgment in the related proceeding. (4) An appeal from a contempt judgment shall not stay any action or proceeding to which the contempt is related.
