QNI Metals Pty Ltd [2018] QSC 178
It is only necessary to make brief summary of the basis of the error I have allegedly made previously in relation to refusing to recuse myself and of the basis upon which it is said that I should now recuse myself. So far as apprehended bias is concerned, the test is well known. I set it out in my reasons for judgment in Parbery v QNI Metals Pty Ltd [2017] QSC 231. The leading cases are Ebner v the Official Trustee in Bankruptcy [2000] HCA 63; (2000) 205 CLR 337 at [6] and [8], and Johnson v Johnson [2000] HCA 48; (2000) 201 CLR 488 at [13]. The written submissions on appeal and the draft submissions of Mr Palmer refer to those and other decisions.
