Guam § 7106 - Civil Liability of a Judge or Justice.
Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 7106 — Civil Liability of a Judge or Justice., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 7106. Civil Liability of a Judge or Justice.
No Judge or Justice shall be liable in a civil action for damages by reason of any judicial action or
judgment rendered by him or her.
1985 SOURCE: § 132 CCP, as modified.
1985 COMMENT: The former phrase “in good faith” does not give complete immunity required of judges, and
permitted by the Supreme Court of the U.S. The phrase “in good faith” has permitted, in other places, suits against
judges if allegations of malice or improper interest are found in the complaint. This phrase, therefore, does not give the
protection against actions which must be defended and is deleted here. The American Bar Association recommends the
section as it is written here.
