[Avodah] Who Said This? How could he say that?

[Meir Rabi]

It is one of the Rishonim who said that if not for being intimidated he
would have ruled that Chamets is Battel on Pesach as per the regulat
guidelines of Bittul, BUT he was worried of being labelled as that Rabbi The
Meikel.

Rabbenu Tam. quoted by Rabbeinu Peretz Pesachim second chapter.

Question:  How could he say that?
This is Assur, the judges and the rabbi s are instructed NOT to be
intimidated but to state their opinion without prejudice or fear?
