    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC137/1989

    Applying the objective test of whether a reasonable and fair‑minded observer, knowing all relevant facts, would have a reasonable suspicion that a fair trial was not possible, the Court held no such reasonable suspicion arose from the judge's remarks or conduct; the comments were justified case‑management and did not indicate prejudgment, therefore the application for leave to appeal was refused.
