Question juridique clé
Whether the judges and clerk who sat in the earlier Federal Supreme Court case had to recuse themselves in this appeal
Solution extraite
Prior participation as Federal Supreme Court judge or clerk in the same matter did not create a recusal ground; no personal interest was shown.
Motifs extraits
Art. 34 al. 1 let. b LTF requires activity in the same case in another capacity, not simply as judge or clerk. Prior participation in an earlier federal proceeding is not enough under art. 34 al. 2 LTF.
