Who investigates breaches of the judicial oath?

The request was successful.

Dear Ministry of Justice,

When judges are sworn in they take two oaths/affirmations. The first is the oath of allegiance and the second the judicial oath; these are collectively referred to as the judicial oath. https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/about-the-j...

My questions to you are as follows:

1. Which Ministry of Justice body deals with complaints regarding breaches of the judicial oath?
2. What is the Ministry of Justice policy regarding breaches of the judicial oath?

Yours faithfully,

Eduard Popescu
