Key legal question
Whether a single cantonal judge was functionally competent to decide on the recusal request.
Extracted holding
Yes. The challenged procedural rules of Schwyz law did not establish a federal rule requiring the full chamber; the appellant failed to show arbitrary application of cantonal organizational law.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 50 ZPO does not regulate functional competence for the recusal decision. Under Art. 4 ZPO, this is governed by cantonal law, and the appellant did not demonstrate arbitrary interpretation of the Schwyz provisions.
