Coercion is the restraint or compulsion of another by force. |

|
|
|
Canon 3195 |

Coercion has no authority and is unlawful if: |
|
|
(i) the man or woman who issued the warrant or instrument authorizing coercion has no legitimate authority in accordance with these Canons to demand such acts; or |
|
|
(ii) threat or fraud is used in the process; or |
|
|
(iii) the official who issued the warrant is not competent; or |
|
|
(iv) the act or acts of coercion as specified within the warrant exceed the authority of the one who issued it. |
|
|
|
Canon 3196 |

|
A judge or magistrate that uses threat as a means of coercion removes both their authority to hear the matter and immunity from personal liability. |
