The JSC ruling on Hlophe

The Judicial Service Commission complaints committee had decided not to proceed with the gross misconduct complaint against Cape Judge President John Hlophe. Weekend Argus understands the minority of four members of the committee insisted there were disputes of fact between Judge Hlophe and his accusers over his alleged misconduct - and that this could only be cleared up by a formal inquiry.

Speaking to Weekend Argus on Friday, Justice Langa said the Constitutional Court's justices would study the JSC decision before responding to it.

Now you can read the full text of the JSC's ruling here on IOL.

The executive summary can be found here and the minority view here.
