(2)  the existence of a personal, family, social, professional or business relationship with the claimant or an interested party;

(3)  the officer’s being or having been an interested party in an application for review or claim for compensation involving matter like the one in question;

(4)  the officer’s public statements or prior positions in direct connection with a case;

(5)  manifestations of hostility or interest in favouring a claimant or interested party.
