If the allegations in both complaints against Judge Mushtak Parker were proven, it would constitute gross misconduct on his part, the committee said.
The Judicial Conduct Committee has recommended a tribunal investigate two complaints against Western Cape High Court Judge Mushtak Parker, which if established, could indicate gross misconduct.
Several of his colleagues on the Bench charged he had given materially inconsistent accounts of the incident. “Our view can only be based on the facts presently before us. On these facts, if the first complaint is established, the position will be that the respondent has no explanation for giving these contradictory versions one of which has to be untrue,” he added.
