Procedural Posture

Recusal Application / Decision on Recusal

  1. 1 Whether the applicant established sufficient grounds for recusal of the judge based on alleged bias or special relationship.

Ratio Decidendi

The application for recusal was dismissed because the applicant failed to provide any objective evidence of a special relationship, improper conduct, or prior involvement between the judge and any party. The allegations were based solely on the applicant's subjective interpretation of the judge's conduct during the hearing, which does not meet the legal threshold for recusal under Article 103 of Law No. 22/2018.

Court Disposition
