- High Court
No reasonable apprehension of bias existed because the 2012 involvement was limited, based on other judges' adverse findings, concerned a different subject matter (the 2012 legal services application) with no logical connection to the 2018 leave application on costs, the earlier comments were not extreme or unbalanced, and recusal after the hearing would impose undue burden; therefore the recusal application was dismissed.
