HER HONOUR JUDGE CAROL ATKINSON:
The Judgment
Ground 1-9
Ground 10
"the decision of the DJ in this matter related to various matters of a sexual nature…
it demonstrates the poor exercise of Judgment in relation to matters of a sexual nature…it demonstrates poor exercise of judgment more generally…justice has to be seen to be done and the public would have no confidence in this DJ dealing with a matter of a sexual nature"
a. The removal of the District Judge from office demonstrates that he had conducted himself in a manner inconsistent with the high standards of judicial office expected of the judiciary and shows a lack of judgment which is undermining of his decision making generally;
b. The sexual nature of the behaviour leading to dismissal demonstrates that his judgment in "matters of a sexual nature has been found to be impaired" and the public cannot be expected to have confidence in his decision making as a result.
