Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the participation of cantonal judge E. created an appearance of bias because she later gave a public talk after the hearing
Extrahierter Entscheid
No objective appearance of bias was shown; the mere fact of a post-hearing talk on procedural topics did not establish lack of impartiality.
Extrahierte Begründung
There was no indication that the judge commented on the pending case or otherwise linked her speech to the dispute. Her general public remarks, without case-specific statements, were insufficient to raise an appearance of partiality.
