contempt
Can anyone help me with the sentence below. I don't understand the meaning of contempt. Also, is it more appropriate to say die from starvation instead of die of starvation? and I am not sure I understand the phrase disposing of her; is it the same as disposing her.
Muggeridge commented: "Today, the chances of such a baby surviving would be very small indeed. Someone would surely recommend letting her die of starvation, or otherwise disposing of her." In subsequent contempt proceedings the House of Lords was satisfied that the article created a substantial if unintended risk of serious prejudice to Dr. Arthur's trial. However, it fell within the section 5 saving and hence was not a contempt.

Hi Marius,
Thank you for explaining it to me. Although I know what it means contempt of court proceedings, I still don't understand the meaning of contempt proceedings as well as: contempt hearing, contempt appeals, contempt orders.
Let's say contempt appeals means a disregard for appeals in court? but what about contempt proceedings
