Abstract: This article provides a critical and comparative analysis of the saga involving Justice Wilson of the New Zealand Court of Appeal. The saga provides a backdrop for a discussion of judicial bias and judicial recusal, as well as the complaints and removal system, in Australia and New Zealand. Reference is made to selected episodes involving recusal applications in Australia and the United States. The article also explores whether a register of pecuniary interests of judicial offi cers should be mandated by statute.

Keywords: bias; judicial recusal; Justice Wilson; judicial complaints; judicial removal; register of pecuniary interests
