Key legal question
Whether the revision request was admissible based on an alleged violation of recusal/composition rules
Extracted holding
The same judges sitting again did not, by itself, create an appearance of bias because the earlier case had been decided on the merits while the later one was only a formal admissibility review; no fair-trial violation was shown.
Extracted reasoning
Revision under Art. 121 let. a LTF requires non-observance of composition or recusal rules. Prior participation is not automatically disqualifying under Art. 34 al. 2 LTF, and bias requires objectively ascertainable circumstances creating an appearance of partiality. Here the second case left the substantive issues undecided.
