Judicial Complaints: Proceedings Continue Despite Resignation or Death

New rules ensure that complaints against judges will continue to be reviewed, even if the judge resigns, retires, or dies. This means citizens can expect full investigations into judicial misconduct, regardless of the judge's status. The aim is to increase transparency and accountability in the judiciary.
Key points
Complaints against judges will no longer be automatically dismissed due to their resignation, retirement, or death.
Special committees will continue investigations into complaints, even if the judge in question leaves office.
