Regulation 13 Referral of other information for consideration

Where no complaint is being considered under these regulations or under rules made under these regulations, but the Lord Chancellor or the Lord Chief Justice receives information from any source which suggests to him that disciplinary proceedings might be justified, he may refer that information to the Office for Judicial Complaints to be dealt with under these regulations, or to an advisory committee or President, as the case may be, to be dealt with in accordance with their rules.

The Office for Judicial Complaints may, after making any enquiries which it thinks necessary, refer the case to the nominated judge in accordance with regulation 16.
