Medical or psychological examination

34 Medical or psychological examination

(1) If the Conduct Division is of the opinion that a judicial officer about whom a complaint has been made may be physically or mentally unfit to exercise efficiently the functions of a judicial office, the Division may request the officer to undergo such a medical or psychological examination as the Division specifies.
(2) If the judicial officer refuses or fails to undergo the medical or psychological examination, the Conduct Division may, having regard to that refusal or failure and to any other relevant factors, and if it considers the matter to be sufficiently serious, form an opinion that the matter could justify parliamentary consideration of the removal of the officer from office.
