Once you're in the court system of most any country, what things you legally can and can't do are a lot harder to enforce. You're essentially needing to fight a well-trained opponent on their home turf with biased referees and no real downside to them for cheating.
I'd imagine neither of your examples could or would happen given the power Apple and Martin's representatives have, and how absurd forcing someone to write a book as part of a court decision would be, but I'm fairly sure you could find examples of relatively similar things. I could certainly see something like a contract-related case being resolved by essentially legally compelling someone to write a book that they said they'd write, or else be fined/imprisoned.

Again, I anal so I don't know the law but contracts sound like a strictly civilian (not government vs not government) court case where there should be no possibility of imprisonment. If there is it sounds like a bug to me and we ought to amend the laws so that it is not possible.
