Re F

The matter of Re F concerned an application for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal of New South Wales, brought by a party alleging bias on the part of a judge. The specific nature of the underlying dispute and the identity of the parties, beyond the reference to "F", were not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the judge in the original proceedings had demonstrated bias, thereby vitiating their decision. This required the Court to consider the principles governing allegations of apprehended bias in judicial decision-making.

The Court of Appeal, comprising Leeming JA and Young AJA, ultimately found that the allegation of bias was not established. While the precise reasoning is not elaborated upon in the provided text, the determination implies that the conduct or decisions of the judge did not meet the threshold for apprehended bias according to established legal principles.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the summons for leave to appeal, making no order as to costs.
