What is the Supreme Court’s or special tribunal’s role in judicial discipline?

The Supreme Court (or special tribunal) handles judicial discipline matters in the same way other cases on appeal are handled. Its role is to review what happened before the Court of Judicial Discipline, such as the conduct of the trial and other questions of law.

The Supreme Court (or special tribunal) cannot consider new evidence or substitute its own judgment for that of the Court of Judicial Discipline.
