- 43 44, 51, 53(g), 55, 56(3), 60, 64(a), 65, 66, 73, 74, 83 and 84 of the Judicial Service Act; 1, 7, 9(4), 149, 160, 161, 171, 172(b) and (f), 174, 180(3), 184, 186, 187(a), 188, 189, 190, 206 and 214 of the Regulations governing the Judicial Service Act; 3(1), (4) and (6) of the Law on the Organization and Faculties of the Courts; 43, 44, 53, 55 of the Ibero-American Model Code of Judicial Ethics; 10 and 20 of the Statute of the Ibero-American Judge, and 1(d), 2(d) and (f), 8(a), and 9 of the Code of Ethics for Judicial Officials and Employees.242 133. As a result of this decision, on June 30, 2010, Mr. Chévez de la Rocha filed a complaint before the Judicial Service Council seeking reinstatement in his post as judge.243 Five permanent or substitute members of the Council disqualified themselves from taking part in this proceeding, because they had heard the case involving the dismissal of Mr. Chévez de la Rocha as members of the Supreme Court of Justice, or due to relationship or friendship.244 As in the proceedings against Mr. López Lone and Ms. Flores Lanza (supra para. 97 and 117), on March 22, 2011, it was considered that “the Judicial Service Council had been disbanded” and a note was sent to the President of the Supreme Court of Justice asking him to provide guidance. As a result of the latter’s indications, the President of the Council appointed a lawyer to incorporate the Council thus enabling the proceedings to continue.245 Subsequently, one more person disqualified themselves from the case and another substitute was appointed.246 134. On August 24, 2011, the Judicial Service Council declared the claim filed by Mr. Chévez de la Rocha admissible, but rejected his request to be reinstated in his post. In its decision, vis-a-vis the arguments of the appellant, the Council reiterated the arguments on independence and impartiality that it had presented in other proceedings (supra para. 99).247 Furthermore, it considered that it had been duly proved that, on August 12, 2009, Mr. Chévez de la Rocha had been arrested for “public scandal” and that three court employees had filed a complaint before the coordinator of the Court for cases involving Domestic Violence “based on the attitude and conduct of Judge Chévez de la Rocha” because he had encouraged a protest against the government de facto and expressed his feelings of shame with regard to the role played by the Judiciary.248 135. However, in relation to the events of August 12, the Council considered that, “although it is true that [Mr. Chévez] was arrested; it is also true that this situation would not be held against him, because the competent authority had already ruled that no warrant had been issued for his arrest.”249 242 Note of June 4, 2010, signed by the Secretary General of the Supreme Court of Justice transcribing the dismissal decision of that date (evidence file, folio 1794). 243 Cf.
