Whether the recusal request against the Justice of Peace office was admissible and well-founded
The request was admissible and had to be granted because F.________'s employment at the office could objectively create an appearance of bias.
The court held that recusal is exceptional but required where objective circumstances could make impartiality appear doubtful. Regular professional relations between F.________ and many members of the office could create friendship or animosity concerns, so the succession should be handled by another authority.
