Article 56 Act on the Organisation of Judicial Authorities (Judicial Organisation Act, GOG) (Gerichtsorganisationsgesetz, GOG) - Measures

1. The supervisory authority may take all proportionate measures to restore proper conditions.

2. In particular, it may

a) Issue and, if necessary, enforce general directives. Directives concerning individual cases are excluded.

b) Require information and additional reports on their activities from the supervised entity and conduct inspections. Persons commissioned by the supervisory authority to carry out such orders have the right to inspect the relevant procedural files, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill their mandate. They may use the knowledge gained in this process only in a general and anonymized form as a basis for their reports and recommendations.

c) Take disciplinary measures, such as issuing reprimands, imposing fines, or, provided they are not members of a court, ordering temporary suspension or dismissal from office.
