Recusal was refused because prior adverse rulings and administrative minutes did not disqualify the judges; exceptional circumstances were found because the plaintiff failed to adequately prepare and present factual affidavits and expert evidence, causing an unnecessary adjournment and burden on the defendant; accordingly the court assessed costs that would have been ordered absent legal aid at $13,440 plus disbursements $3,902.52 (total $17,342.52) and ordered a nominal costs award under the Legal Services Act.
