High Court dismisses the defendant's application for the judge's recusal in a case concerning the defendant's alleged non-compliance with an interlocutory injunction aimed at preventing harassment, the defendant's request being based on the judge's past representation of a former Commissioner of An Garda Síochána and perceived issues with the defendant's historical research, on the grounds that the court found no evidence of bias, either actual or perceived, and the defendant had not met the legal threshold for recusal.
Recusal - contempt of court - interlocutory injunction - harassment - objective bias - actual bias - An Garda Síochána - Disclosures Tribunal - reasonable apprehension of bias - judicial independence - barrister's past representation - maintenance and champerty - Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act - free speech - fair hearing - rule of law - Constitution of Ireland - High Court.
