Canon 1106

1. A judge is not to undertake the adjudication of a case in

which the judge may have some interest due to consanguinity or

affinity in any degree of the direct line and up to the fourth

degree inclusive of the collateral line, due to functioning as a

guardian or trustee, due to close friendship, due to great animosity, or due to a desire to make some profit or avoid some

loss. 2. In the same circumstances the promoter of justice,

the defender of the bond, the assessor and the auditor must

disqualify themselves from their office.
