This paper explores the principle of judicial impartiality based on David Sugarman's research on the Pinochet case in England and the scandal caused by the annulment of a ruling that denied immunity to the former head of state because one of the judges had a connection with one of the intervening parties. A brief description is provided of the main milestones of the impartiality of judges and the nemo iudex in causa sua principle in British judicial history.
