Abstract

The difficulties in balancing judicial independence and accountability, the importance of formal processes around the investigation of judicial conduct, and the need for clarity on the respective roles of the branches of government under the separation of powers were all issues that were highlighted by the recent controversy surrounding the conduct of a Supreme Court Judge in Ireland. This article considers the detail of the controversy, in the context of the Irish system governing judicial discipline and removal, analyses certain problems underlined by the episode, and finally reflects on lessons that may be helpful for any jurisdiction grappling with the complex issues involving judicial discipline and removal.
爱尔兰2020年司法行为争议的教训
在平衡司法独立和问责制方面的困难,围绕司法行为调查的正式程序的重要性,以及在权力分立下政府各部门各自作用的明确需要,这些都是最近围绕爱尔兰最高法院法官行为的争议所突出的问题。本文在爱尔兰管理司法纪律和撤职制度的背景下,考虑了争议的细节,分析了这一事件所强调的某些问题,最后反思了可能对任何司法管辖区解决涉及司法纪律和撤职的复杂问题有所帮助的教训。
