The High Court in Johannesburg ordered that the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) proceedings against Cape Judge President John Hlophe be stopped.
Handing down judgment on Monday, Judge Nigel Willis said the JSC proceedings which began in April must be set aside and that new proceedings should begin on a date suitable to both parties.
"We are vindicated," said Barnabas Xulu, Hlophe's council.
The proceedings had centred on an allegation by the Constitutional Court judges that Hlophe had allegedly tried to interfere in a judgment relating to President Jacob Zuma.
Hlophe had applied to the court to stop the proceedings alleging bias by the committee hearing the matter.
