High Court dismisses a series of motions by an individual seeking to question the validity of the appointments of the official assignee in bankruptcy, citing procedural flaws. The individual, who described the assignees as "imposters," claimed their appointments were not validly made by the Minister for Justice and lacked formal warrants. The court determined that if the individual wishes to challenge the appointments, appropriate proceedings must be instituted, joining all relevant parties and outlining the facts and matters relied upon. The court also addressed a recusal application, finding no reasonable apprehension of bias and declining to recuse itself.
