The Ypres top magistrate Johan L. loses his job after passing on exam questions to his daughter. While the disciplinary bank in the first instance gave him another chance by putting him back two degrees, the appeal body decided to resign today. “The court does not leave any room for even one error,” says his lawyer Michiel Van Eeckhoutte. It is perhaps the final step in a scandal that started with the Magistrat’s exam of January 2024, where several candidates had received the questions in advance.
