Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the first judge was biased and the cantonal decision had to be set aside.
Decisione estratta
No objective appearance of bias was shown; the post-decision comments on the lengthy appeal and language skills did not establish grounds for recusal.
Motivazione estratta
No recusal request had been made before the cantonal judgment, and the later criticism concerned the excessive length of counsel’s submission, not extrajudicial prejudice.
