The judge recused because the lodging of a complaint to the Chief Justice by the defendants' solicitor on instructions of the second defendant and the public assertion in court that the judge could not provide a fair trial constituted conduct likely to undermine the administration of justice and created a reasonable apprehension that justice would not be seen to be done; recusal was necessary to preserve fairness and the appearance of impartiality, with any misconduct to be addressed after the Chief Justice's response.
