I move amendment No. 9:

In page 73, to delete lines 36 to 38.

The amendment is important and relates to the annual report of the judicial conduct committee. The purpose of the amendment is to confirm that, in all cases, the name of the judge against whom a complaint has been substantiated and the reprimand issued will be published in the annual report of the judicial conduct committee.

Amendment No. 12, which amends section 87(7), is the key amendment. The other amendments involve the deletion of text which is no longer appropriate. They are consequential upon amendment No. 12. Section 87(7) refers to the name of the judge against whom the complaint has been substantiated.
