What is the test for alleging bias in a judge?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from You v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2016 FC 1010 (CanLII):
Allegations of an apprehension of bias must rest on serious grounds, in light of the strong presumption of judicial impartiality (Wewaykum Indian Band v. Canada, [2003] 2 SCR 259, 2003 SCC 45, at paragraph 76). This type of allegation must not be made lightly because a reasonable apprehension of bias calls into question not only the integrity of the presiding judge, but of the administration of justice itself (R. v. Teskey, [2007] 2 SCR 267, 2007 SCC 25, at paragraph 32).
