Asking a judge to discharge himself?
Discussion
Hi all, got an ongoing complaint via the JCIO against a judge. They've suggested I can ask him to discharge himself.
If I did this, what are the likely outcomes/implications? The JCIO have agreed there is likely grounds for upholding. I'm considering whether it would be a good idea to have the matter heard by another judge.
Any thoughts please?

Is this an ongoing trial/issue?
if you think there is an issue - ie conflict or some misdirection or words used to express a bias then make a complaint - it will either be upheld or not.
There should be no implications/outcome apart from if upheld getting a new judge which if an ongoing trial will mean a re-trial. If not upheld then there may be a delay and then it will continue.
May piss the judge off a complaint was made but would doubt it -they has to be seen to be impartial/fair interpret the law correctly.
So if you think you have justified grounds then put this forward the judge can remove/discharge himself if once its bought to their attention he think you are correct. he may not be even aware of the issue. If he doenst think you are correct he may refer it in any event to protect his back and ensure a fair outcome.
Yes, it's ongoing but a complaint was made to the court made during the pre-hearing period due to additional issues, prior to me making a complaint to the JCIO post-hearing regarding the judge.if you think there is an issue - ie conflict or some misdirection or words used to express a bias then make a complaint - it will either be upheld or not.

Thanks for the info/your thoughts. Much appreciated.

What is JCIO please
If you're in a position to help/advise, you'd know that.Example: in the Health Service AED can mean Automated External Defibrillator or Anti-Epileptic Drug.

I work across public and private sectors, some acronyms mean different things between (and sometimes different within!) organizations. It is common practice, and reduces confusion, to give full meaning of an acronym at the first usage.

Yes, but I think what readerscars is saying that in this context it could only mean one thing and if you were offering advice you really should know the meaning, in the same way that in your scenario if a medic was trying to revive someone in cardiac arrest and asked for an AED and someone brought them an anti epileptic drug they may question their knowledge.Example: in the Health Service AED can mean Automated External Defibrillator or Anti-Epileptic Drug.
OP, is this criminal matter or something else?

What, specifically, would you like to know in order to offer your thoughts?
Some facts would be a start, but, not being a Judge, I am allowed to be as unfair and mean spirited as I like, and just from the content and tone of your posts in the thread so far I already have you in the box marked "loony vexatious litigant"; but, hey, we can all be wrong.

Ask your brief? They will be better equipped to advise than a bunch of randoms on a car forum, even if one is a Barrister.If I did this, what are the likely outcomes/implications?
