If you read the details, the issue was that one of the parties in a specific case was a member of the Garrick, so the judge might not have been impartial.

It’s unclear if the judge would have known the other party in the case was a regular visitor, but once it was brought to light it seems pretty shocking that he didn’t recuse himself.
