85.4. Where, in judgment in a civil suit that has become res judicata, a Member or former Member is held liable for damage by reason of an act or omission in the performance of the Member’s or former Member’s duties of office, no costs or expenses may be paid and the Assembly shall recover any costs or expenses paid if the Office, after obtaining the advice of the jurisconsult, is of the opinion that the Member or former Member acted in bad faith.

The Assembly shall, however, assume the payment of any pecuniary penalty arising out of a judgment in a civil suit, except where the Office, after obtaining the advice of the jurisconsult, is of the opinion that a gross fault was committed by the Member or former Member or that the judgment should be appealed by the Member or former Member.
