EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE: Bias, misconduct and procedural irregularity
Pragmatic recusal or standing down by a Chairman because objection was taken to him and another Chairman was available does not lead to the need for that Chairman to recuse himself on another occasion (Ansar, Dobbs referred to). There was no ground for the original ‘recusal’ and the simple fact of such earlier recusal ‘without more’ could not justify a case of apparent bias.
