Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal appeal judges had to recuse themselves because they may have been involved in a suspected leak of official secrets.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No objective circumstances showed that any of the judges were implicated; unsupported suspicions are insufficient grounds for recusal.
Extrahierte Begründung
The complaint named no concrete facts linking the judges to the press article or the alleged leak. The article predated the appeal, and there were no indications the appeal court had handled the file before then.
