93.1. A judge suffering from permanent physical or mental disability which, in the opinion of the Government, prevents the judge from effectively performing the duties attached to judicial office shall be relieved from judicial duties. Unless the judge resumes judicial duties under the second paragraph, the judge is deemed to have ceased to hold office on the day preceding the day on which the judge satisfies any of the requirements set out in section 224.3, 228 or 246.3, as the case may be, for eligibility for a pension.
If the judge recovers, the Government may permit the judge to resume judicial duties at the same court, even if all the posts in that court are already filled.
The permanent disability is established, after inquiry, by the Conseil de la magistrature, at the request of the Minister of Justice. Termination of permanent disability is established in the same manner.
