Aligante and Waugh (No 2)

In *Aligante and Waugh (No 2)*, the proceeding before Watts J involved an application by the mother seeking the disqualification of the judge.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the judge should disqualify himself from hearing the matter, based on an oral application made by the mother.

Watts J considered the application for disqualification and ultimately dismissed it. The judge's reasoning, though not detailed in the provided text, led to the conclusion that there were no grounds for recusal.

Consequently, the court made an order on 28 June 2010, dismissing the mother's application for the judge to disqualify himself.
