§ 112.313(8), Fla. Stat.

Civil contempt is conduct directed against the rights of the opposing party.


law-imposed obligation ;"an act or omission tending to obstruct or

interfere with the orderly administration of justice, or to impair the
dignity of the court or respect for its authority. There are two
kinds, direct and constructive." 249 S. 2d 127, 128. direct contempt
openly and in the presence of the court, resists the power of the
court, 102 A. 400, 406; and consequential, or constructive contempt
results from matters outside the court, such as failure to comply with
orders.

The basic standards governing fraud on the court are reasonably straightforward. As set forth in Cox v. Burke, 706 So. 2d 43, 47 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998):

The requisite fraud on the court occurs where “it can be demonstrated, clearly and convincingly, that a party has sentiently set in motion some unconscionable scheme calculated to interfere with the judicial system’s ability impartially to adjudicate a matter by improperly influencing the trier of fact or unfairly hampering the presentation of the opposing party’s claim or defense.” Aoude v. Mobil Oil Corp., 892 F.2d 1115, 1118 (1st Cir. 1989) . . . . The trial court has the inherent authority, within the exercise of sound judicial discretion, to dismiss an action when a plaintiff has perpetrated a fraud on the court, or where 




a party refuses to comply with court orders. Kornblum v. Schneider, 609 So. 2d 138, 139 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992).
