The judge applied the objective 'real risk' test for apparent bias, considered the merits at the leave stage by reference to the amended draft proceedings, and determined that the key question for grant of leave was whether non-disclosure by the honorary secretary and associated conduct on press releases and expert evidence created a real and substantial risk of bias or would cause unacceptable prejudice to third parties or to good administration.
