Questão jurídica principal
Whether the award had to be annulled because the association president should have recused himself due to his partnership in the engineering firm handling the tender process.
Decisão extraída
No recusal breach was established; there was no proof that the president personally handled the procurement or had a personal interest in the award outcome.
Fundamentação extraída
A recusal duty arises only where a person has a personal interest or has previously dealt with the matter in another official or private capacity. The alleged connection was too remote and unsupported by evidence.
