Key legal question
Whether the recusal request against Judge Troillet was filed within the statutory ten-day period.
Extracted holding
The request was time-barred because it was filed after the ten-day period running from knowledge of the recusal ground.
Extracted reasoning
Under cantonal procedural law, recusal must be requested within ten days of knowing the ground. If the alleged bias stems from the 6 October 2003 decision, the deadline ran from its notification; filing on 6 December 2003 was clearly late.
