recusation (countable and uncountable, plural recusations)
- (obsolete) refusal
- (law) The act of disqualifying a judge or jury in a specific case on the grounds of possible partiality or prejudice.
- 1750, William Blackstone, An Essay on Collateral Consanguinity:
- […] permit a man to refuse a judge, if he himself is of opinion he has any cause, without assigning what that cause is, is therefore in general very silent about what sort of consanguinity is, or is not, a good ground for recusation
