A judge in Delaware on March 30 said she is reassigning cases involving Tesla CEO Elon Musk after she was accused of being biased against him.

Delaware Court of Chancery Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick said in a letter to lawyers that she was taking the step because “disproportionate media attention surrounding a judge’s handling of an action is detrimental to the administration of justice.”
