Supreme Court excludes judge from case due to conflict of interest involving client's spouse.

The Supreme Court dismissed the request to exclude a judge from the case, ruling that the judge's relationship with the opposing party's spouse did not constitute a valid ground for recusal. The court found no evidence that the judge's impartiality was compromised by the specific circumstances of the dispute between the plaintiffs and the bank. Consequently, the proceedings continued with the original judge as the decision was based on a strict interpretation of the recusal requirements.
