This proclamation, signed by the Administrator (acting for the Governor-General), triggered the start of the new judicial complaints system. From 12 April 2013 onwards, the updated procedures for handling misconduct complaints against judges became legally active."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/courts-legislation-amendment-judicial-complaints-commencement-proclamation-2013","history":"/api/acts/courts-legislation-amendment-judicial-complaints-commencement-proclamation-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/courts-legislation-amendment-judicial-complaints-commencement-proclamation-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/courts-legislation-amendment-judicial-complaints-commencement-proclamation-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/courts-legislation-amendment-judicial-complaints-commencement-proclamation-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/courts-legislation-amendment-judicial-complaints-commencement-proclamation-2013/documents"}}
