Questione giuridica chiave

Decisione estratta
The recusal objection was forfeited because it was not raised as soon as the ground was known.
Motivazione estratta
A party must invoke alleged judicial bias immediately; by waiting despite prior knowledge and after being informed that the same magistrate would decide, the commune lost the right to complain later.
