Bong v. LaFontaine — Trial Court Erred by Denying Judge-Disqualification Motion Without Required Statutory Process
The Oregon Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal of a pro se mandamus petition, holding that the trial court erred by denying a motion to disqualify the assigned judge without any judge challenging the movant’s good faith — a prerequisite under ORS 14.260(1) before the motion may be denied.
