Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the public law appeal against the cantonal recusal decision was admissible
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible as a timely challenge to a final cantonal decision on recusal, and the appellant had standing to contest the refusal.
Extrahierte Begründung
A recusal decision is a final cantonal decision; the applicant for recusal is directly affected and may challenge its dismissal under the federal procedural rules invoked by the court.
