    The judge held that on the material before the court a fair-minded and informed observer would not conclude there was a real possibility of bias; prior adverse findings and reference to occupation were factually based and not indicative of bias; the Hadkinson exercise was justified to prevent abuse of process; the recusal summons was dismissed and costs awarded to the mother.
