Today Judge Larysa Holnyk, whom the First Disciplinary Chamber of the HJC sent to dismissal, began her usual song “I am a whistleblower, the system is fighting me.”
Recall, Holnyk, using her full judge’s access to the Unified Register of Court Decisions, went and read the court decisions of another judge in her court, thereby publicly disclosing a closed court decision concerning a minor child.
Now Holnyk claims she acted as a “whistleblower.” And if not for her, the other judge’s violations would never have been made public.
Recall that a person receives whistleblower status not when they pin that medal on themselves, and not when, using their status, they read closed documents.
Holnyk should have obtained whistleblower status by appealing to the appropriate bodies, primarily the NACP. And not AFTER she accessed someone else’s court decisions with her EDS, but INSTEAD of doing that.
As it stands, Holnyk committed at least a disciplinary offense, and when a complaint was filed against her, Holnyk put on the “whistleblower” costume and claims that whistleblowers can indeed break the law.
This is exactly one of those cases where it’s better to chew than to speak.
Recall that the Ethics Council had already found Holnyk unprofessional. Now the HJC has done so as well.
A completely logical decision against the backdrop of an obvious violation, for which not only Holnyk but other judges are being dismissed.
It is also important that the decision to dismiss was voted for not only by HJC members who are judges, but also by HJC members who are not judges.
It is not the system fighting Holnyk. Holnyk has lost her sanity so much that even the HJC members who are not judges decided that Ukraine does not need a judge like her.
