Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the challenged judge had to be recused for lack of impartiality under Art. 30 Cst. and Art. 6 ECHR
Extrahierter Entscheid
No objective circumstances showed bias; the complaints relied mainly on subjective impressions and on case-management or procedural decisions that did not reveal prejudice.
Extrahierte Begründung
A judge is disqualified only if objectively ascertainable circumstances create an appearance of bias. Adverse or even erroneous procedural rulings do not suffice; only particularly serious or repeated errors indicating grave breach of judicial duties may justify recusal. The applicant retained the ability to file written submissions, and the timing of decisions was explained by the nature of the provisional proceedings and the need for limited evidence-taking.
