Heated debate in the judiciary over a judge who questioned the Fees Law: proposals to sanction him with 35% of his salary

The Commission of Discipline of the Council of the Magistracy in Argentina has approved a majority ruling to sanction national civil judge Carlos Hugo Goggi. The proposed penalty is a one-time fine equivalent to 35% of his monthly salary.

The disciplinary action stems from a contentious debate within the Magistracy regarding the judge's public questioning of the Law of Fees (Ley de Honorarios). The move represents a significant internal administrative measure concerning the conduct and professional expressions of a member of the judiciary.
