If it is like in Germany, there's the concept of the "legal judge": There must be a regular set of rules which judge covers which cases. That can vary locally, and over time, but it must apply to all cases filed at the same court at a time.
These rules exist to ensure that judges can't take over cases they wish to distort in some way (eg. because they don't like the plaintiff or defendant, they have a strict opinion on the subject matter, ...).
Unfortunately, the rules used in some places here allow(ed) the plaintiff to skew things in their favor (if they want a certain judge to handle the case). If assignment depends on the date of filing, they wait for the right day. If it's semi-random (but guessable to some very high degree based on prior day's assignments), they check the records to find the right timing... These lobbying groups consists mostly of lawyers - if there's a loop hole, they'll find it.
It's possible that BREIN found a legal way to skew assignments in their favor, too.
