The Judicial Conduct Tribunal's inquiry into allegations of gross misconduct against Judge Belinda Hartle continues on Tuesday.
Hartle is facing allegations of misconduct following an altercation with a court clerk over the delivery of court files.
The complainant, court clerk Thozamile Semekazi, alleges that the judge swore at him and used the K-word during the confrontation.
Semekazi became emotional and broke down while recounting the incident before the tribunal.
Hartle has denied using the racial slur but admitted to reprimanding the clerk sharply and using an expletive during the exchange.
The tribunal is continuing to hear evidence surrounding the incident.
