1. For the purposes of article 46, paragraph 1 (a), “serious misconduct” shall be constituted by conduct that:
(a) If it occurs in the course of official duties, is incompatible with official functions, and causes or is likely to cause serious harm to the proper administration of justice before the Court or the proper internal functioning of the Court, such as:
(i) Disclosing facts or information that he or she has acquired in the course of his or her duties or on a matter which is sub judice, where such disclosure is seriously prejudicial to the judicial proceedings or to any person;
(ii) Concealing information or circumstances of a nature sufficiently serious to have precluded him or her from holding office;
(iii) Abuse of judicial office in order to obtain unwarranted favourable treatment from any authorities, officials or professionals; or
(b) If it occurs outside the course of official duties, is of a grave nature that causes or is likely to cause serious harm to the standing of the Court.
2. For the purposes of article 46, paragraph 1 (a), a “serious breach of duty” occurs where a person has been grossly negligent in the performance of his or her duties or has knowingly acted in contravention of those duties. This may include, inter alia, situations where the person:
Interfering in the exercise of the functions of a person referred to in article 47;
(ii) Repeatedly failing to comply with or ignoring requests made by the Presiding Judge or by the Presidency in the exercise of their lawful authority;
(iii) Failing to enforce the disciplinary measures to which the Registrar or a Deputy Registrar and other officers of the Court are subject when a judge knows or should know of a serious breach of duty on their part; or
(b) If it occurs outside the course of official duties, causes or is likely to cause harm to the standing of the Court.
