Singapore's top court has warned of serious consequences for those who make unmeritorious claims of judicial bias, following the decision to dismiss an appeal by a woman to have a judge removed in an acrimonious divorce case.
In backing the judge who did not recuse herself from the "high conflict" case, the Court of Appeal also made it clear that lawyers should not act as mouthpieces for their clients and should guard against their own bias.
