Questão jurídica principal
Whether the civil court president had to be recused for apparent bias
Decisão extraída
The recusal request was unfounded: the alleged incidents, remarks, and case-management decisions did not objectively show bias.
Fundamentação extraída
Only objectively established circumstances can create an appearance of partiality; ordinary procedural rulings and unproven or inadequately motivated allegations are insufficient, and the complaint did not meet the required substantiation standard.
