The Court upheld the trial judge's refusal to recuse: the comments by opposing counsel did not create a reasonable suspicion of bias to a fair‑minded observer and the judge applied the correct test. The Court also upheld the judge's exercise of discretion that there was no deliberate non‑compliance with the Sears J. consent order and dismissal of the broker's claim for want of prosecution or for breach was not warranted; the consent order's wide scope made factual disputes inevitable and further inspection would be unproductive. Costs awarded to respondent.
