Summary dismissal of complaints
20 Summary dismissal of complaints
(1) The Commission shall summarily dismiss the complaint if it is of the
opinion that, whether or not it appears to be substantiated-- (a) the
complaint is one that it is required not to deal with,
(b) the complaint is
frivolous, vexatious or not in good faith,
(c) the subject-matter of the
complaint is trivial,
(d) the matter complained about occurred at too remote
a time to justify further consideration,
(e) in relation to the matter
complained about, there is or was available a satisfactory means of redress or
of dealing with the complaint or the subject-matter of the complaint,
(f)
without limiting paragraph (e), the complaint relates to the exercise of a
judicial or other function that is or was subject to adequate appeal or review
rights,
(g) the person complained about is no longer a judicial officer, or
(h) having regard to all the circumstances of the case, further consideration
of the complaint would be or is unnecessary or unjustifiable.

whether or not to summarily dismiss a complaint, the Commission may have
regard to such matters as it thinks fit.
