British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Makowsky v. John Doe, 2007 BCSC 1231 (CanLII):
In his affidavit, the plaintiff raises his personal concerns about my hearing the case. The test for whether there is a reasonable apprehension of bias is an objective one; the subjective views of a party do not form part of the test: Lesiczka v. Sahota, 2007 BCSC 479, leave to appeal refused, 2007 BCCA 334.
