natural justice

natural justice
The minimum standard of fairness to be applied by a court when resolving a dispute. The main rules of natural justice include:
(1) the right to be heard - each party to the dispute should be given an opportunity to answer any allegations made by the other party;
(2) the rule against bias - the person involved in settling the dispute should act impartially, in particular by disclosing any interest in the outcome of the dispute. The rules of natural justice apply equally in judicial as well as in administrative proceedings. Alleging a breach of natural justice is the method commonly used to challenge an administrative decision before the courts.
