Motion for recusal dismissed due to lack of reasonable apprehension of bias and unexplained delay.
The applicant brought a motion requesting the Vice-Chair recuse himself due to a reasonable apprehension of bias arising from a remark made two years prior, and a motion to reconsider a previous interlocutory decision.
The Tribunal dismissed the recusal motion, finding no reasonable apprehension of bias given the context and an unreserved apology, and noting the motion was brought after an unexplained seven-month delay following an adverse decision.
The request for reconsideration was also dismissed as the Tribunal's rules do not permit reconsideration of interlocutory orders, and there was no denial of procedural fairness.
