Paragraph 14 Fitness for office and removal of members of the CourtI1

Sections 21 to 25 of the Courts Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 (which provide for the convening of a Tribunal to consider fitness for office, suspension and removal of judicial office holders) apply to a member of the Court, other than the Chair, as they apply to the holder of a judicial office listed in section 21(3)(a) to (c) of that Act.

For the purpose of the application of section 21(4)(b) of the Courts Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, “the relevant judicial office” for an investigation into whether an individual is fit to hold the office of member of the Court, is that office.
