In Point I, John Fay and Robin Farms claim that the trial court erred in denying their application for a change of judge for cause, filed pursuant to Rule 51.05(d), because a reasonable person would have questioned the impartiality of Judge Ravens’s presiding over their case in that, while in private practice, he represented Mary Bar-tholome, one of the respondents. Although Rule 51.05 provides time limits for filing an application for a peremptory disqualification of a judge, as to an application for disqualification for cause, pursuant to Rule 51.05(d), such as the one filed in this case, these time limits do not apply. In any event, there is no dispute here as to the timeliness of or the manner in which John Fay and Robin Farms filed their application. The dispute arises over whether Judge Ravens’s prior representation of Mary Bartholome required him to recuse himself for cause.
