Seer Technologies Ltd and another v Abbas and another: ChD 16 Mar 2000

Although no attempt could properly be made to list or limit the circumstances which might give rise to a claim of bias in a judge, it was inconceivable that circumstances might allow a judge’s independence to be challenged on the grounds of his religious persuasion or background. The fact that the applicant was an Arab, and that the judge in question and many of the other party’s lawyers were Jewish was quite irrelevant.
