ATA/680/1996Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberNov 19, 1996Confirmed
Extracted by Omnilex
The Geneva Administrative Court rejected a recusal request based solely on a judge’s prior participation in the same or related matters. It then confirmed that a pension or annuity paid by the ILO is subject to income tax in the canton of Geneva.
LPA art. 15; recusal is not warranted merely because the judge previously participated in the judgment under review or in one or more cases involving the recusant. Prior judicial involvement, without additional circumstances creating objective doubts as to impartiality, does not by itself establish bias. A pension or annuity paid by the ILO constitutes taxable income in Geneva.
