I've only read about it.  I've never used it myself.  I think you covered it pretty well.

It seems to be losing its appeal and validity, since many judges who should have been removed from certain cases remained . . .

We in America use recuse in the same way.

Well Ms S.F. It is a word that has been omitted from most dictionaries, but I have a  an old Shorter Oxford and it does imply what you suggest. Some words are used slightly differently in each country.Recuse ie. Make an objection-to object to 'a judge' as being prejudiced. A lawyer would probably give you his country's definition.
