115.15.61. If proceedings are brought against a Tribunal member by a third party for an act performed in the exercise of the functions of office, the Tribunal shall assume the member’s defence and pay any damages awarded as compensation for the injury resulting from the act, unless the member committed a gross fault or a personal fault separable from the exercise of those functions.
However, in penal or criminal proceedings, the Tribunal shall pay the defence costs of a Tribunal member only if the member had reasonable grounds to believe that his or her conduct was in conformity with the law, or if the member was discharged or acquitted.
