AI summary
The Constitutional Court dealt with an application concerning a trial Judge’s recusal after he briefly left a virtual hearing during cross-examination. It granted leave to appeal, upheld the appeal with costs, set aside the Supreme Court of Appeal’s order, and remitted the merits appeal to that court.
This appears to concern judicial recusal, bias, and the treatment of proceedings in a virtual trial setting.
Evidence from source
At issue is whether a trial Judge should have recused himself after leaving a hearing for a short period, without first adjourning proceedings
Supports: Summary sentence 1: the case concerned recusal after the Judge briefly left a virtual hearing.
