No Judge Ever Removed:Despite the existence of the Judicial Conduct Commissioner and Judicial Conduct Panel Act 2004—supposedly designed to investigate and address serious judicial misconduct—there is no record of any judge being removed from office through this process.

Some possible solutions:Many countries employ a range of accountability mechanisms to oversee judicial conduct and ensure public confidence in the judiciary.
