4. The Commission charged Mr Morake with several counts of misconduct. The inquiry into his alleged misconduct commenced on 11April 2011. His representative requested a postponement of the disciplinary proceedings. It was argued that Mr Morake will appeal against his conviction once a sentence has been imposed and the Presiding Officer was requested to hold the inquiry in abeyance until after the outcome of the appeal. A postponement was granted until 24 June 2011; provided that Mr Morake submitted proof that he had indeed filed an appeal against his conviction. On 24 June 2011, the Presiding Officer granted Mr Morake a further request for postponement until 11 July 2011 to give him an opportunity to file his appeal and furnish proof. Mr Morake filed an application for leave to appeal on 19 July 2011. The application is still to be considered.
