Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the recusal request was still admissible after the challenged judge had already rendered his decision.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Once the judge has ruled and the proceedings have ended, newly discovered grounds for recusal must be raised by appeal, not by a separate recusal request.
Extrahierte Begründung
The request was filed after the decision had been pronounced, so it had become moot; the appellant's recusal arguments could only be invoked in the appeal against the decision itself.
