Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the first judge was biased and the cantonal decision had to be set aside.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No objective appearance of bias was shown; the post-decision comments on the lengthy appeal and language skills did not establish grounds for recusal.
Extrahierte Begründung
No recusal request had been made before the cantonal judgment, and the later criticism concerned the excessive length of counsel’s submission, not extrajudicial prejudice.
