Defendant, SherwinWilliams Company, (hereinafter SherwinWilliams, has moved that I recuse myself from this matter and cites as its reason my ownership (with my wife as tenants by the entirety) of our home situated in Lincoln, Rhode Island which we caused to be built in 1968-69. SherwinWilliams contends that that ownership creates an economic interest by me in the subject matter of the controversy and also makes me a party to this proceeding both the alleged economic interest and party status preclude my participation in this case according to Sherwin Williams. Further, and in any event, it is claimed by that defendant that a hypothetical, reasonable third person would deem my service as a judge in this matter as improper or, at least, as giving the appearance of impropriety. SherwinWilliams asserts the disqualification thus is mandated by reason at least of Article VI, Rule 1, Canons 2 and 3 of the Rhode Island Supreme Court Rules, the Code of Judicial Conduct, (hereinafter Code).
