The Court held the Order of 15 September 1986 must be set aside because Jones J., having previously disqualified himself in related proceedings involving the same litigant for reasons of personal friendship, should have recused himself from making contested procedural directions; a reasonable and fair‑minded person would have had a reasonable suspicion that a fair hearing was not possible, and the disputed timing for filing affidavits was sufficiently controversial to require remittal to another judge.
