1. Shortly before 1 p.m. on the second day of trial, the 1 st defendant said he wished to speak to me in private about a personal matter. I told him that it was improper for a judge to see a party in private in the absence of the other party/parties. I suggested that if it was something personal, I was prepared to hear him in chambers in the presence of counsel for the plaintiff. Both parties were agreeable and I heard the 1 st defendant in chambers.
