Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal to hold a public hearing in the recusal proceedings violated Art. 6 ECHR or Art. 30(3) BV.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Recusal proceedings are not a civil or criminal matter under Art. 6 ECHR, and Art. 30(3) BV did not require a public hearing because only the recusal question was being decided.
Extrahierte Begründung
The proceedings concerned only the procedural issue of judicial disqualification, not the underlying civil dispute.
