Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellate judges were biased because they had participated in the earlier quashed decision and assessed the witness evidence with preconceived views.
Decisione estratta
The challenge of bias failed; prior knowledge from the file and earlier proceedings did not show prejudice.
Motivazione estratta
The appellate court relied not only on the witness's hearing testimony but also on earlier statements and other evidence. Considering that material did not make the judges appear partial.
