What will the Commission do?

The Judicial Commission can:

• if satisfied a complaint is sufficiently serious that, if substantiated, it could justify removal from office or termination of appointment, establish an Investigation Panel comprising two Judges or former Judges and one community member;
• if satisfied a complaint is not sufficiently serious but is partly or wholly substantiated, refer the complaint to the relevant head of jurisdiction, with recommendations regarding action; or
• if satisfied there is a statutory ground to do so, dismiss the complaint.
