How to prepare a judicial conduct complaint

Focus on specific alleged conduct and supporting material, not dissatisfaction with a judgment that should follow an appeal process.

Do not guess or exaggerate. State allegations as allegations, distinguish personal knowledge from information supplied by others and remove account passwords or unnecessary sensitive data.

1. Prepare the essential facts

Write the events in date order. Identify the organisation or public body complained against, the location, what happened, who was contacted and what response was received.

2. Gather supporting information

3. Explain the remedy you want

Request a practical action that the responsible institution can consider, such as investigation, correction of a record, written explanation, refund, enforcement action or another appropriate remedy.

4. Preserve the complaint trail

Keep submitted emails, portal acknowledgements, complaint tickets, delivery receipts and responses. They may be necessary if the matter later becomes eligible for escalation.

5. Confirm the current official route

Use the institution's official website to confirm its present complaint channel. Do not rely on an email address copied from an unverified social-media post.
