Balamoody v Nursing & Midwifery Council - The simple fact of an earlier recusal does not, without more, automatically lead to a further recusal [2008] EAT

Mr Balamoody brought race discrimination claims against the Nursing & Midwifery Council. At a Pre-Hearing Review he asked that the Employment Judge stand down, because he had made a deposit order against him in a different matter 9 years previously. Since another Judge was available the PHR was handed over – however, this was simply a pragmatic step, not a formal recusal.
