Chatterjee and Woodby-Chatterjee (No 3)

In *Chatterjee and Woodby-Chatterjee (No 3)*, Le Poer Trench J considered an application for recusal. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties, Chatterjee and Woodby-Chatterjee, and the precise stage of proceedings leading to this application are not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the judge should recuse himself from further hearing the matter. This determination would hinge on whether there was a reasonable apprehension of bias.

Le Poer Trench J determined that recusal was appropriate. While the reasons for this apprehension are not elaborated, the judge's decision indicates that the threshold for recusal, based on the principle of maintaining public confidence in the impartiality of the judiciary, was met.

Consequently, the court ordered that the matter be referred to the Case Management Judge for further direction, and Le Poer Trench J recused himself from any further involvement in the proceedings.
