CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Nimmo and Bush (No.2)*, the Supreme Court of New South Wales, presided over by Judge Street, considered an application for recusal. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties, Nimmo and Bush, is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that an oral application for recusal was made during proceedings.
The central legal issue before the court was whether the judge should recuse himself from hearing the matter. This required the court to assess the grounds upon which recusal is typically granted, focusing on whether there was a reasonable apprehension of bias.
Judge Street dismissed the oral application for recusal. While the precise reasons for this dismissal are not elaborated upon in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the court found no sufficient grounds to establish a reasonable apprehension of bias that would warrant recusal. The court's decision was to proceed with the hearing.
