The Disciplinary panel finds a judge of the Bratislava V District Court guilty

The Disciplinary panel of the Supreme Administrative Court of the Slovak Republic decided that the disciplinary accused judge, by his actions in ten legal cases, repeatedly violated his obligation to prepare a judgment within 30 days of its pronouncement (Section 223(3) of Act No. 160/2015 Coll., the Civil Procedure Code). In four of the cases under review, the disciplinary defendant repeatedly breached his obligation to draw up an order within 30 days of its pronouncement (Section 223(3) of Act No 160/2015 Coll. on Civil Procedure Code). In six cases, he repeatedly breached his obligation to draw up the judgment before its pronouncement and to deliver it to the parties present at the hearing at which it was pronounced, and to send it to the absent parties within three days of its pronouncement at the latest (Section 219(2) of Act No 160/2015 Coll. on the Civil Procedure Code).
