The Judge's interventions — including questioning witnesses, referring to material already before the Court, directing experts to confer, and seeking clarification on causation and technical issues — were legitimate case management and evidential inquiries within judicial powers and s100 Evidence Act; there was no evidence of private independent research or formation of a concluded adverse view; a fair‑minded informed observer would not reasonably apprehend bias; therefore the recusal and new trial applications must be dismissed.
