The difficulty with that for politicians is that if it goes to the court, you've lost in the court of public opinion already. The damage is done; the allegation has landed. It's well entrenched by the time it's in the courts.
I'm talking about allegations that are false and that can be determined to be false even at the commissioner's office in the initial process. There already is a provision to ensure that they maintain confidentiality until such time as it's determined whether or not there is a conflict, or if an investigation has revealed that some kind of act has been undertaken that is unprofessional.
