Out on another limb, if some of the Magistrates are the accusers in this situation would they be taken out of the council who'll make the final decision? Or will Tom himself do so? I don't believe it would be fair to include the Magistrates who made the accusations as they would have an unbiased opinion.
To my knowledge, no Magistrate is in Fontan; dunno about Madina or Westmoor. If they are, decisions about recusal will be made internally by the Magistrates. We do take into account issues with bias and conflict of interest.
Tom has no vote on Magistrate rulings, and no Magistrate is a plaintiff. So far, it doesn't appear that any Magistrates show signs of needing to recuse themselves.
