In State v. Unique Ideas, Inc., 44 N.Y.2d 345 [1978] the Court of Appeals observed that a fine for civil contempt is designed to compensate and indemnify private complainants, and is payable to the aggrieved party. Section 773 of the Judiciary Law provides that a fine in civil contempt may be used to indemnify a "party to an action or special proceeding," who is referred to as an "aggrieved party."
