Judge Conflict of Interest

In Simple Terms

Judges who decide cost cap violations must not have any personal or professional conflicts that could bias their decision. The panel's president has the final say on whether someone has a conflict, and they don't need to publicly explain their reasoning.

• Judges must be impartial and free from conflicts of interest
• The panel president has sole authority to determine if a conflict exists
• No explanation is required for conflict of interest decisions
• This ensures fair and unbiased judgment of cost cap violations
