Reema and Baboor & Ors

In the matter of *Reema and Baboor & Ors*, heard before Hannam J, the father sought the recusal of the judge from further hearing the proceedings. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the application for recusal indicates a contested family law matter.

The central legal issue before the court was whether there were grounds for the judge to recuse themselves from continuing to preside over the case. This required an assessment of whether there was a reasonable apprehension of bias on the part of the judge, such that a fair-minded and informed observer would conclude that the judge could not bring an impartial mind to the resolution of the proceedings.

Hannam J dismissed the father's application for recusal. While the detailed reasoning is not provided, the outcome signifies that the judge found no sufficient basis to conclude that a reasonable apprehension of bias existed. The judge's decision implies that the standard for recusal was not met in this instance.

The court ordered that the father's application filed on 15 November 2019, seeking the judge's recusal, be dismissed. This order is subject to formal entry in the Court's records.
