Regina (Kaur) v Institute of Legal Executives Appeal Tribunal and another – WLR Daily

Regina (Kaur) v Institute of Legal Executives Appeal Tribunal and another [2011] EWCA Civ 1168; [2011] WLR (D) 298

“Judges should not sit or should face recusal or disqualification where there was a real possibility on the objective appearances of things, assessed by the fair-minded and informed observer, that the tribunal could be biased. The vice-president of the Institute of Legal Executives (‘ILEX’) ought not to have been a member of a disciplinary appeal tribunal set up by the institute to deal with breaches of its rules. Her leading role in the institute and her inevitable interest in its policy of disciplinary regulation should have disqualified her because the fair-minded and informed observer ought to have or would have concluded that there was a real possibility of bias.”
